WASHINGTON DC<\/b> \u2013 Hoy, el Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones del Senado aprob\u00f3 el proyecto de ley de asignaciones de servicios financieros y del gobierno general, que incluye una enmienda del senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley y la senadora de Washington Patty Murray para garantizar que las empresas legales de marihuana puedan acceder a los servicios bancarios.<\/p>\n
Actualmente, las empresas de marihuana que operan bajo las leyes estatales que han legalizado la marihuana medicinal o recreativa han tenido dificultades para acceder al sistema bancario porque los bancos y las cooperativas de cr\u00e9dito que les brindan servicios pueden ser sancionados o cerrados seg\u00fan la ley federal. Sin la capacidad de acceder a cuentas bancarias, aceptar tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito o emitir cheques, las empresas deben operar utilizando grandes cantidades de efectivo. Solo en Oreg\u00f3n, se estima que el mercado de la marihuana podr\u00eda generar cerca de 500 millones de d\u00f3lares durante sus primeros 14 meses de ventas legales. Esto crea riesgos de seguridad para las empresas y las comunidades circundantes, y dificulta que los gobiernos locales y estatales recauden impuestos.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEl gobierno federal no deber\u00eda obligar a los negocios de marihuana legal de Oreg\u00f3n a llevar bolsas de deporte llenas de dinero en efectivo para pagar sus impuestos, empleados y facturas\u201d. dijo el senador Jeff Merkley. <\/b>\u201cEsta es una invitaci\u00f3n a los robos, al lavado de dinero y al crimen organizado. Necesitamos permitir que nuestros bancos presten servicios a estos negocios legales sin temer represalias devastadoras por parte del gobierno federal\u201d.<\/p>\n
"Esta enmienda realmente trata de brindar claridad, estabilidad y seguridad a nuestros bancos, cooperativas de cr\u00e9dito y propietarios de peque\u00f1as empresas que desean poder operar a plena luz del d\u00eda". dijo la senadora Patty Murray. <\/b>\u201cLa gente en mi estado natal de Washington habl\u00f3 a favor de la legalizaci\u00f3n de la marihuana hace a\u00f1os, y como la voz de mi estado, continuar\u00e9 presionando para ayudar a las empresas legales a acceder a los servicios bancarios sin temor a ser procesados\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
La enmienda, aprobada como parte del proyecto de ley de asignaciones de Servicios Financieros y Gobierno General, evitar\u00eda que los reguladores bancarios federales proh\u00edban, penalicen o desalienten que un banco brinde servicios financieros a un negocio leg\u00edtimo de marihuana regulado y sancionado por el estado. La enmienda fue aprobada 16-14.<\/p>\n
El proyecto de ley fue votado fuera del Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones hoy en una votaci\u00f3n bipartidista. Los pr\u00f3ximos pasos ser\u00edan que el proyecto de ley se env\u00ede al pleno del Senado para una votaci\u00f3n en el pleno del Senado y, finalmente, se fusione con un proyecto de ley hom\u00f3logo de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de los EE. UU. para que ambas c\u00e1maras lo aprueben y se convierta en ley.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
