WASHINGTON -- The Credit Union Regulatory Improvements Act (H.R. 1537) has its 140th sponsor, a legislator from Alabama. The association has reported that Representative Robert "Bud" Cramer (D-Ala.) has signed onto the co-sponsor list for the legislation.
CUNA said the bill is now co-sponsored by 97 Democrats and 43 Repub-licans and 34 of those names are first-time supporters this year. Of those 34, 18 are incumbents signing on in support of CURIA for the first time this session. Last year, a CURIA bill drew the support of a total of 126 co-sponsors from both political parties.
