Veterans Member Business Loan Act

Summary#

This bill would change the Federal Credit Union Act to say that an extension of credit made to a veteran is not a "member business loan." It adds a specific clause to section 107A(c) and defines "veteran" by referring to section 101 of title 38, United States Code. The change would take effect after the 6-month period that begins on the date the bill becomes law.

What it means for you#

If you are a veteran and receive a loan or other extension of credit from a federal credit union, that loan would not be counted as a "member business loan" under the Federal Credit Union Act once the change takes effect. The bill sets the veteran definition to match the definition in 38 U.S.C. 101.
