| 117-hr-9307 | 117 | hr | 9307 | SAFE Lending Act of 2022 | Finance and Financial Sector | 2022-11-16 | 2022-11-16 | Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. | House | Rep. Bonamici, Suzanne [D-OR-1] | OR | D | B001278 | 10 | Stopping Abuse and Fraud in Electronic Lending Act of 2022 or the SAFE Lending Act of 2022 This bill revises requirements related to consumer financial protection and small-dollar lending, including matters concerning remotely created checks, electronic fund transfers, registration of small-dollar lenders, overdraft fees, and the collection of personal information. Under the bill, remotely created checks may only be issued by a person specifically designated in writing by a consumer and provided to the consumer's depository institution. (A remotely created check is a check not issued by the bank and not signed by the account owner.) A voluntary agreement to repay a small-dollar consumer credit transaction by an electronic fund transfer is subject to certain protections, including the right of the consumer to stop payment. Small-dollar consumer credit providers must register with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Any small-dollar consumer credit transaction is subject to the laws of the state in which the consumer resides. The bill also prohibits overdraft fees on prepaid accounts. | 2023-01-20T15:15:23Z | https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/9307 |
