Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), in referring to the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act during a House Rules Committee meeting, noted that this is the second consecutive year he's filed an amendment seeking to add cannabis banking language to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
“I’m trying to figure out every path possible to get this thing done so that fewer people are killed,” Perlmutter said, referring to deadly robberies at cash-intensive dispensaries. “And this does involve international cartels, so that really is the nexus to the NDAA, the criminal international component to this.”
