Veterans Member Business Loan Act

This bill lets credit unions make more business loans to veterans by removing those loans from the usual cap on “member business loans.” In plain terms, a veteran’s business loan would not count against the credit union’s limit, so more veterans could qualify for financing to start or grow a business. The bill uses the standard federal definition of “veteran,” and it takes effect 6 months after it becomes law .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans seeking business loans and the credit unions that serve them.
• What changes: Loans to veterans won’t count toward the credit union’s business loan limit, allowing more lending to veterans.
• When: Starts 6 months after the bill is enacted.
