This week: ICBA advocacy briefing on 1071 push

ICBA this week is hosting a complimentary briefing on its campaign targeting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Section 1071 proposal.

Details: Scheduled for 3 p.m. (Eastern time) this Thursday, Dec. 9, the briefing will cover the proposed small-business data collection and reporting requirements and how community bankers can weigh in.

Comment Letters: Because the CFPB does not consider form letters, ICBA is calling on community bankers to use its comprehensive guide to develop, format, and submit personalized comments.

ICBA Position: ICBA is strongly advocating a robust community bank exemption and other reforms, as laid out in ICBA’s comment letter guide.
