Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), Kenny Marchant (R-Texas), and Sander Levin (D-Mich.) have signed up to co-sponsor the bill; all three had been co-sponsors in the previous Congress. The bill has a total of 107 legislative co-sponsors, including primary sponsor Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.).

The bill would provide credit unions expanded business lending powers, permit all federal credit unions to adopt underserved areas, create a risk-based capital system comparable to the banks', and increase voter participation requirements in mutual savings bank conversions.
