Credit union tax exemption clash over new members bill
The debate centers on a bill approved by the House 411 to 8 that would let federally chartered credit unions include more than one group in memberships, countering a Supreme Court ruling. Supporters say it lowers rates and boosts competition while opponents argue tax exemptions and fair-lending rules should apply. Senate amendments exempt credit unions from community-lending requirements, with Gramm contending credit unions are voluntary, not-for-profit. Sarbanes argues the Community Reinvestment Act should apply to credit unions too.
