![]() Good Morning! It is appropriations season in Washington as Congress continues negotiations to fund the government. Appropriation bills, also known as spending bills, are proposed law that authorizes the expenditure of government funds. Every fiscal year, the president submits a budget to Congress, which then must pass appropriation bills to fund government programs and other vital government functions. Appropriation bills are typically separated into a few different categories, but they can be grouped together into larger legislative packages. Late last week, the House passed what it calls its “minibus” appropriations bill, which focused on the Financial Services and General Government funding including some very important credit union priorities:
The House has already begun consideration of a number of financial services related bills that will continue throughout the week that we will continue to keep a close eye on.
The Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote and Electronic (SECURE) Notarization Act of 2021 (H.R. 3962) would authorize the use of remote online notarization and create national standards and protections for its use, which is something we have been working on and advocating for since the start of the pandemic. In addition to the passage of the SECURE Notarization Act, minor changes to state law may be needed in the Dakotas to fully utilize true remote notary services. As always, feel free to contact me with any advocacy concerns. Comments are closed.
