WASHINGTON—With the House out of session this week, the focus is on the Senate, which will conduct several hearings and meetings to watch:
- The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging on Tuesday will hold a hearing on the costs and options of small business healthcare.
- The Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship on Wednesday will discuss the consequences of dwindling start-up activity.
- The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday will investigate how older Americans can be protected from financial exploitation.
- The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs and Federal Management on Thursday will discuss the use of agency regulatory guidance and potential legislative solutions and safeguards.
- Also on Thursday, the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship will hold a hearing on small businesses’ survival amid unaffordable flood insurance rate increases.
Also on Wednesday, NAFCU will discuss the latest legislative and regulatory news during its “2Q Advocacy Update” member call-in featuring House Financial Services Committee member Mick Mulvaney (R-SC).
Mulvaney, who last year introduced a bill that would require NCUA to hold yearly budget hearings and release its draft budgets for comment, will speak to NAFCU members at the top of the June 29 member-only call. Attendees will also hear from NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger and other senior staff. Wednesday’s free call-in will begin at 4 p.m. Eastern; registration is required.
