California Treasurer Announces Hearing On Marijuana Business Banking Access Issues
The intent is to “review the progress made and discuss remaining barriers”
The state treasurer of California has announced she will be convening a hearing next week to highlight the marijuana industry’s banking access “challenges” and the effect it has on businesses, workers and communities.
The hearing, hosted by Treasurer Fiona Ma (D), comes ten years after a predecessor of hers in the role launched a Cannabis Banking Working Group to examine the issue.

The intent is to “review the progress made, discuss remaining barriers and consider practical steps California can take to support a safe, transparent and well-regulated legal cannabis market,” a press release from Ma’s office said.
