Agency Contact Information; Technical Corrections
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is issuing this final rule to make non-substantive corrections and updates to Bureau and other Federal agency contact information found at certain locations.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act’s Limited Preemption of State Laws
States play an important role in the regulation of consumer reporting. State laws that are not “inconsistent” with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) are generally not preempted by that statute. The FCRA also expressly preempts certain categories of State laws. This interpretive rule clarifies that FCRA’s express preemption provisions have a narrow and targeted scope. States therefore retain substantial flexibility to pass laws involving consumer reporting to reflect emerging problems affecting their local economies and citizens.
Advisory Opinion on Revoking or Changing the Terms of Existing Credit Arrangements
The CFPB is issuing this advisory opinion to affirm that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B protect not only those actively seeking credit but also those who sought and have received credit.
Equal Credit Opportunity (Regulation B); Discrimination on the Bases of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is issuing this interpretive rule to clarify that, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, the prohibition against sex discrimination in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Regulation B, which implements ECOA, encompasses sexual orientation discrimination and gender identity discrimination, including discrimination based on actual or perceived nonconformity with sex-based or gender-based stereotypes and discrimination based on an applicant’s associations.
Final Redesigned Uniform Residential Loan Application Status under Regulation B
The Bureau is publishing a Federal Register notice pursuant to section 706(e) of the ECOA concerning the update of the redesigned URLA.
