The Financial Access Protection Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently introduced in the Senate and sent to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time.
This bill faces a tough path because it deals with the sensitive issue of immigration. Without support from both parties, it is unlikely to pass through a divided Congress.
