The U.S. DEA’s proposal to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act has generated considerable buzz across business sectors, including for the banks and credit unions that see opportunities and challenges in transacting in the legal marijuana space. Legality varies by use and by state, while federal law limits how financial institutions can operate. Notably, for financial institutions, this proposed legal shift may not bring about the sweeping changes some might anticipate. Aaron Kouhoupt explores the landscape for financial services and legal marijuana businesses and offers an update on the SAFER Banking Act: https://lnkd.in/gK3VuiaG #cannabis #banking #financialservices #CSA #rescheduling #SAFERBankingAct

Recent data shows that employees are more empowered than ever to file workplace complaints following the #MeToo movement, heightened interest in conduct issues from governmental and regulatory bodies, and numerous high-profile cases appearing in the media. Regardless of size or industry, responding to employee complaints is a common issue employers face. Workplace investigations take many forms and can be instigated by an employer, an employee or a third party. Investigations may stem from disciplinary procedures, grievances, bullying/harassment allegations and whistleblowing. More from Camille Bryant: https://lnkd.in/ggR6RfnY

On July 18, 2024, the CFPB issued notice of a proposed interpretive rule that walks back a prior 2020 Advisory Opinion on the manner in which Regulation Z defines “credit.” The Rule also declares certain types of optional consumer payments to be “incident to or a condition of the extension of credit” such that the fee is a finance charge for purposes of Regulation Z.

On August 20, 2024, a Texas District Court judge entered a final judgment blocking the implementation of the FTC’s proposed non-compete rule, previously set to go into effect on September 4. The rule would have broadly banned the enforcement on non-compete clauses in employment agreements for nearly all employees nationwide and required employers to provide notice to employees (current and former) that their non-compete agreements were no longer enforceable. As of now, the rule will no longer go into effect. More from Andrew Albritton: https://bit.ly/3ySuWwM #FTC #noncompete #employment #law
