What this bill would do

It seeks to change the definition of a member business loan by excluding extensions of credit made to veterans. Specifically, it adds a provision that excludes loans made to a veteran from the current definition. The term "veteran" will be defined according to the meaning given in section 101 of title 38, United States Code. These changes are set to take effect 180 days after the act is enacted.
