  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, while the SAFE Banking Act focuses on 
harmonizing federal and state banking laws regarding serving legitimate 
cannabis businesses and their service providers, there are still 
several issues where the federal government could provide more clarity. 
The Department of Treasury and its regulatory agencies should issue 
guidance on behalf of all federally licensed businesses engaging in, or 
considering engaging in, the legal cannabis trade, or Hemp and CBD 
trade, with respect to their engagement in a legal business.
