The Treasury Department is warning that state laws that restrict banks from considering environmental, social and governance factors could harm efforts to address money laundering and terrorism financing.

Maybe that’s the point.

    A few years ago, a friend was telling me about how much access to the financial system is a problem for (legal) sex workers. I wonder if this law protects them too.

      It looks like it might to me unless there’s a quantitative, impartial, and risk based reason or a “rating, scoring, analysis, tabulation, or action that considers a social credit score” the decision to deny them credit would be illegal for my understanding. Unless there’s some justifiable monetary reason for them to deny service legal sex workers should be covered.
