Increasing Credit Union Lending for Business Growth Act

# Increasing Credit Union Lending for Business Growth Act (HR 1791) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would make it easier for credit unions to lend money to small businesses and entrepreneurs. Credit unions are member-owned financial institutions that typically serve individuals and families. Currently, there are federal limits on how much credit unions can lend to businesses. This bill would likely increase those lending caps, allowing credit unions to provide more financial support to business owners and startups. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily benefit small business owners and entrepreneurs who could access more credit union loans, as well as credit unions themselves, which would have greater lending capacity.

It could indirectly help employees and communities that depend on small business growth. **Current Status** HR 1791 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) in the 119th Congress. *Note: The bill's specific provisions are not publicly detailed in the information provided.
