WASHINGTON, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–July 24, 2013. U.S. Senators Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) – members of the Senate Banking Committee – today introduced legislation to ensure a healthy future for America’s community banks. The Community Lending Enhancement and Regulatory (CLEAR) Relief Act, S. 1349, would provide much needed regulatory relief to community banks and their customers as well as support the housing recovery. By stripping away outdated or unnecessary regulation, the CLEAR Relief Act would help community banks focus on what they do best: providing loans to their communities and helping small businesses grow.
