ALTA President Testifies Before Congress on CFPB Proposals
press release
   

American Land Title Association (ALTA) President Rob Chapman delivered the following oral  testimony  today during a hearing before the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit subcommittee of the House Committee on Financial Services titled “Legislative Proposals to Improve Transparency and Accountability at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).”
 
During the hearing, Chapman  identified three ways that Congress should work in a bipartisan way to improve outcomes for consumers and businesses:
 
“First, Congress should pass H.R. 4383,” said Chapman, president of ALTA, the national trade association of the land title insurance industry. “This bipartisan legislation by Rep. Pittenger and Rep. Heck would establish a small business advisory board at CFPB, similar to those already established for community banks and credit unions. Second, direct the CFPB to issue advisory opinions.  An advisory opinion provides certainty to those of us who comply with federal consumer financial law in real life situations.
 
“Finally, inject sunlight on policy statements, bulletins and other guidance documents by encouraging public feedback. Public comments ensure these documents are useful and understandable to industry, provide a safety valve to reduce unintended consequences, and produce better policy outcomes for consumers and industry.”
