2014 End of Session Report

In a year that marked a recovering economy, as well as further leadership changes in the Senate and House of Representatives, your League was successful in holding off serious threats to credit unions and other businesses.  Several bills regarding foreclosures, labor, and general excise tax that could have had a detrimental impact on credit unions were successfully defeated early in the legislative session.  Potential harm to credit unions was kept to a minimum.
