A Senate committee Tuesday moved toward approval of bipartisan legislation to ease regulations on smaller banks.
Supporters of the bill by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Michael Crapo, D-Idaho, including nine Democrats and one independent, called it a sensible step to reduce burdens, mostly on community banks and credit unions, to make it easier for consumers to get mortgages and obtain credit.
