Washington, DC (January 18, 2018) - The House Financial Services Committee passed four CUNA-backed regulatory relief bills in a markup that included a total of 17 bills. A number of committee members cited CUNA support for the bills, and Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.), specifically cited CUNA’s support for one.
“These bills would provide much-needed regulatory relief for credit unions and other community financial institutions and work to move away from the one-size-fits-all regulatory regime that is ultimately harming American consumers,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle.
CUNA-backed bills include:
These bills address many of CUNA's goals in its bipartisan, pro-consumer Campaign for Common-Sense Regulation, which was launched earlier this year.
