NBA Supports Community Bank Leverage Ratio Bill

The Nebraska Bankers Association and other state bankers associations sent a letter to the House of Representatives in support of a bill, H.R. 6145, that would set the Community Bank Leverage Ratio between 8.0% and 8.5% between Jan. 1, 2022, and Dec. 31, 2024. Bank efforts to respond to the pandemic have led to significant balance sheet increases. H.R. 6145 would provide necessary relief from higher capital demands.
