IBA Submits Comment Letter on Proposed Illinois CRA Rules. The IBA has submitted a comment letter to the IDFPR on our members’ concerns regarding the IDFPR’s proposed administrative rules implementing the Illinois Community Reinvestment Act (Illinois CRA). Our letter requests that the final rule adopt reasonable examination fees and limit expenses, lengthen the implementation period, ensure consistency with federal CRA rules and exam schedules, eliminate discrepancies with the proposed rules for credit unions and mortgage landers, and more. The IBA also contends that the proposal expands the IDFPR’s authority beyond the scope of the law by covering bank affiliates and foreign-headquartered banks. Read the IBA comment letter.
