Staff Report From South Carolina CEO
Wednesday, July 18th, 2018
U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) released the following statement upon House passage of the JOBS and Investor Confidence Act, which includes S. 3040, the Senator’s bipartisan Credit Access and Inclusion Act of 2018.
“I applaud Chairman Hensarling, the House Financial Services Committee, and the whole House for putting people ahead of politics by passing this key piece of legislation. In particular, the Credit Access and Inclusion Act will increase access to credit for nearly 29 million Americans who are creditworthy but ‘credit invisible.’ It’s almost impossible to climb the economic ladder without a credit history and this bill will eliminate that barrier for people who work hard and do the right thing.
I urge the Senate to take up consideration of the Jobs and Investor Confidence Act in a timely manner, and look forward to it being sent to the President’s desk.”
On June 26, 2018, Senator Scott released this statement in conjunction with the introduction of the Credit Access and Inclusion Act.
