U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) met last week with a group ofcredit union leaders at the Minnesota Credit Union Networkheadquarters in St. Paul to discuss industry issues andlegislative matters surrounding the elections.

Klobuchar said she is hopeful the member business lendinglegislation will come to a vote this year. The Small Business Lending Enhancement Act (S. 2231) would raisethe lending cap on credit unions and help boost the economy byexpanding access to capital for small businesses, its backers say.

At the Thursday meeting, the senator also addressed the ATMdisclosures bill, which Klobuchar is co-sponsoring. The measure,under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, would eliminate the needfor physical fee disclosures on ATMs.
