Landlord consent still lives under two federal clocks. Medical activity generally left 280E after the April 2026 order. Adult-use activity did not. SBA SOP 50 10 8 still bars plant-touching 7(a) and 504 loans. SAFE Banking Act of 2026, S.4942 is a bill, not a close condition. Banks that stay in the category still cite FinCEN FIN-2014-G001.
Cited sources that govern Landlord consent: IRC §280E still disallows ordinary deductions on Schedule I trafficking, which is why adult-use books stay in 280E. FinCEN FIN-2014-G001 remains the SAR frame banks actually use. SBA SOP 50 10 8 keeps plant-touching targets out of 7(a) and 504, including medical. SAFE Banking Act of 2026, S.4942 and H.R.9471 were introduced in 2026 and are not law.
