WASHINGTON–The members of the conference committee that will hammer out language differences between the House and Senate versions of the National Defense Authorization Act have been named.
Credit unions are paying special attention to the compromise that is reached, as the Senate version includes Section 2821, which would expand the exemption that allows for the waiving of certain fees and land lease costs for credit unions on military installations. The exemption would be expanded to include other financial institutions that meet the same criteria, specifically banks. The House passed the bill without the language. CUNA, NAFCU and the Defense Credit Union Council have all expressed strong opposition to the language.
Appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the conference committee were: Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA); Rep. Susan Davis (D-CA); Rep. Jim Langevin (D-RI); Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA); Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN); Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT); Rep. John Garamendi (R-CA); Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA); Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ); Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ); Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA); Rep.
