House Bills Could Bring QM and Indirect Lending Regulatory Relief
The House adopted two bills that could provide some regulatory relief and clarity for credit unions. The Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act would provide a safe harbor from certain QM requirements for residential mortgage loans held in portfolio. The Reforming CFPB Indirect Auto Financing Guidance Act would require the CFPB to replace its onerous 2013 bulletin with specific guidance on indirect lending. [11/19/15]
