CUNA engaged with House votes, PPP hearings this week

September 21, 2020
Cap2

CUNA will be engaged in House floor votes and several hearings in both chambers of Congress this week.

The House is expected to consider two pieces of CUNA-supported legislation on the floor this week. The bills are:

  • Ensuring Diversity in Community Banking Act of 2019 (H.R. 5322), which would, among other things, encourage federal government deposits in Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs), establish a Small Business Administration task force focused on MDIs and Community Development Financial Institutions   and require diversity and inclusion reports from each prudential regulator; and
  • The COVID-19 Fraud Prevention Act (H.R. 6735), which would establish a working group that would be a collaboration between the Securities and Exchange Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with the goal of helping to protect scam attempts during the pandemic.

CUNA wrote a letter to House leadership Monday in support of the legislation.

Other hearings CUNA is engaged with this week include:

  • Tuesday, 10:30 a.m. (ET): House Financial Services Committee hybrid hearing, “Oversight of the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve’s Pandemic Response;”
  • Wednesday, 10 a.m. (ET): Senate Commerce Committee hearing, “Revisiting the Need for Federal Data Privacy Legislation;”
  • Thursday, 10 a.m. (ET): House Small Business Committee hearing, “Paycheck Protection Program: An Examination of Loan Forgiveness, SBA Legacy Systems, and Inaccurate Data;” and
  • Friday, 9:30 a.m. (ET): House Small Business Committee hearing, “A Review of PPP Forgiveness.”
