Summary of Bill HR 507

Bill 119 HR 507, also known as the Veterans Member Business Loan Act, aims to amend the Federal Credit Union Act by excluding extensions of credit made to veterans from the definition of a member business loan. This bill specifically targets veterans, who may be seeking financial assistance to start or grow their own businesses.

Overall, Bill 119 HR 507 is a bipartisan effort to support and empower veterans in their entrepreneurial pursuits by providing them with the necessary financial resources to succeed.
