On March 14, the Senate passed the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155). The bill is now in the hands of the U.S. House of Representatives. ICBA staff and community bankers across the country are working diligently with lawmakers to get this bill passed and onto the desk of the president to sign into law.
If passed, this bill will give community banks with assets of less than $10 billion regulatory relief in several areas including, qualified mortgage safe harbor from the ability to repay, appraisal relief in rural areas, HMDA adjustments to data collection, and escrow requirements.
At Community Banker University, we are waiting in anticipation and preparing for the bill to pass. If and when this this happens, we will update and create new courses to address all the changes in the bill. Stay tuned to our newsletters as these changes may affect your bank's annual training efforts.
Community bankers can use ICBA’s Be Heard grassroots action center and S. 2155 petition drive to urge the House to quickly pass the regulatory relief legislation. ICBA encourages all community bankers to take part in the initiatives and enlist staff, colleagues, directors, friends, and allies to maximize the industry’s voice.
