Fix Immediately Outstanding Underpayments for Student Veterans Act of 2018 or the Fix IOUs for Student Veterans Act of 2018 This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay the difference to individuals who received a deficient monthly educational assistance stipend during a specific time span due to difficulties encountered in implementing amendments made to the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act , commonly known as the Forever GI Bill. Among other things, changes made to the act affected the calculation of the housing stipend amount based on campus location.

The MCUL supports efforts to help Michigan credit unions combat data breaches and the harm they cause to Michigan's 5.3 million credit union members. We support H.R. 6743 (The Consumer Information Notification Requirement Act) that would update GLBA notification requirements for credit unions and other financial institutions and ensure consumers are treated consistently no matter their state of residence. We will continue to advocate for additional legislation, either comprehensive or single issue in nature on the subject. The MCUL opposes S. 3343 (the Stop Overdraft Profiteering Act of 2018) and H.R. 3606 (the Overdraft Protection Act of 2017). Both bills would negatively and significantly impact consumer/member ability to participate in overdraft protection services. Restricting or prohibiting optional overdraft and courtesy pay services, as these bills would do, will harm consumers, especially low-to-moderate income credit union members. While the MCUL DOES NOT take a position on the legalization of cannabis it does support legislation that enables the banking of cannabis business in states where usage has become legal. As such, the MCUL supports S. 3032, the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States (STATES) Act.
