Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), and Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) asked for financial services regulatory relief priorities to which CUNA responded last week. "It appears that these four senators may be beginning a process of looking at a comprehensive regulatory relief for financial institutions," Ryan Donovan, CUNA vice president of legislative affairs, said.
