House approves CUNA-backed disapproval of CFPB auto lending bulletin

The House voted in favor of a joint resolution of disapproval against the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection’s indirect auto lending bulletin, a move strongly supported by CUNA.

“As member-owned financial cooperatives, small credit unions are harmed most by poorly tailored rules and policymaking,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. “Bureau bulletins should be subject to the CRA as it has been a successful tool in combating unnecessary regulatory burdens for credit unions.”

The joint resolution will now go to President Donald Trump for his signature.
