ACU Pushes Senate To Advance CLF, CDFI, Deposit Insurance Amendments In NDAA
By CU Today Staff —
WASHINGTON--With the Senate expected to consider the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) when they return to Washington, America’s Credit Unions addressed several key amendments submitted for consideration in a letter to leadership.
ACU stated that credit unions support amendments to:
The letter opposes an amendment from Sens. Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA) to launch a pilot program for commissary coupons for servicemembers
“We agree with the concept that more should be done to help servicemembers who are struggling to make ends meet. However, airdropping into the NDAA an unvetted measure that tells servicemembers where they must shop is not the solution,” the letter reads. “Enacting this program could create issues at commissaries by making changes to established payment systems.”
The House did not pass the rule for its version of the NDAA before recessing for the Independence Day holiday but could try to reconsider it when they return next week, ACU added.
