CFPB transparency, more headed for mark-up Thursday
May 27, 2014 – The House Financial Services Committee is set to mark up several bills Thursday that would, among other things, promote NAFCU-sought transparency in proceedings at CFPB.
NAFCU lodged support for greater transparency at the bureau in a letter included in the record of a hearing last week by the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, chaired by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. The bills addressed in that hearing are now on the full committee's mark-up list for Thursday. They include:
- H.R. 4262, the "Bureau Advisory Commission Transparency Act," introduced by Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., requiring CFPB to make advisory board and council meetings open to the public (CFPB, in a move welcomed by Duffy and NAFCU, recently announced this will begin in June);
- H.R. 3770, the "CFPB-IG Act of 2013," introduced by Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio, to create an independent inspector general for CFPB (CFPB now shares an IG with the Federal Reserve System);
- H.R. 4604, the "CFPB Data Collection Security Act," introduced by Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., to require CFPB to create an opt-out list for consumers who do not want the bureau to collect personally identifiable information about them;
- H.R. 4262, the "Bureau Advisory Opinion Act," introduced by Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., to establish an advisory opinion process that could be used to obtain legal opinions on proposed new services;
- H.R. 4684, the "Bureau Guidance Transparency Act," introduced by Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., on requiring a public notice and comment period before CFPB issues guidance in final form.
Thursday's mark-up is set for 10 a.m. Eastern.

It takes about 30 times for a board to start to be in a new conversation before they start to get their brain rewired to embody the change [07:24] In merger conversations we lose sight of what is important for the member. We need to look at what the continuing organization will look like and what is the leadership the membership and continuing organization need and deserve. [12:39] An educated board and executive team are a sharper team. When you have sharper leaders in the organization good things come from that. [24:22] If we are not taking care of that relationship with the CEO then we are strategically hampered. With a good CEO evaluation, the board is higher performing, the CEO is more attentive to being high performing, and the relationship is high performing and more genitive.
