1 H.R. 4861, EQUAL Act of 2018 1 (June 20, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/equlact0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE U COST ESTIMATE June 20, 2018 H.R. 4861 EQUAL Act of 2018 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on March 21, 2018 H.R. 4861 would nullify guidance issued in 2013 by three financial regulators-the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Federal Reserve-about certain short-term loans, known as deposit advance products, that banks offer to their customers. The bill also would require the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to alter some current regulations. CBO estimates that those financial regulators and the CFPB would need a total of three to five employees for about a year, with an average annual compensation of $250,000 each, to complete the rulemaking required by the bill regarding deposit advance products. CBO expects that enacting the bill would not change the risk that a federally insured financial institution would fail because we estimate that the size of the deposit advance market would continue to be small under H.R. 4861. In 2013, deposit advance products amounted to less than 0.05 percent of the assets held by banks, and the loss rate of about 5 percent on those products was similar to that for other unsecured credit. Also, for the roughly 900 banks regulated by the OCC, H.R 4861 would have no effect on their operations because the OCC has already rescinded the 2013 guidance on deposit advance products. CBO estimates enacting the bill would increase the deficit by $1 million over the 2019- 2028 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. That increase comprises increased direct spending by the FDIC and the CFPB and decreased revenues from the Federal Reserve. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4861 would not significantly increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029. H.R. 4861 would preempt state laws and regulations that govern bank's short-term lending when those laws conflict with federal regulations issued under the bill. Although the preemption would limit the application of state laws and regulations, CBO estimates that H.R. 4861 would impose no duty on state, local, or tribal governments that would
