Ensuring Diversity in Community Banking Act This bill establishes and revises provisions related to minority depository institutions, community development financial institutions, and impact banks. (Sec. 4) The bill expands the definition of minority depository institutions to include women-owned banks. It also establishes impact banks as depository institutions with total assets less than $10 billion and where a certain total dollar value of loans are extended to low-income borrowers. (Sec. 6) The bill creates Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committees at the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Administration. The committees must provide advice to their respective entities regarding preservation of the number and character of minority-owned institutions and the creation of new institutions. (Sec. 8) The bill establishes the Minority Bank Deposit Program to prioritize the use of minority depository institutions to hold the deposits of federal departments and agencies. (Sec. 10) The bill sets forth the threshold of controlling shares with respect to minority depository institutions and impact banks. It also allows new minority depository institutions and impact banks to take three years to meet initial capital requirements. (Sec. 12) The bill establishes a program allowing minority depository institutions and impact banks to apply to receive deposits from certain Treasury accounts. (Sec. 13) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation must evaluate certain applications for deposit insurance for eligibility as a community development financial institution. (Sec. 14) The Small Business Administration must establish a task force on lending to small business concerns by improving relationships with community development financial institutions, minority depository institutions, and impact banks. (Sec. 15) The bill also decreases, beginning September 30, 2030, the cap on the surplus funds of the Federal Reserve banks. (Amounts exceeding this cap are deposited in the general fund of the Treasury.)

Support a comment letter drafted by Senator Brown urging the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to continue to collect all Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data points added in the CFPBs 2015 final rule, including the data points that are enumerated in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) and those added through the CFPBs discretionary authority. Also, urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to maintain the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data elements that the CFPB added and enhanced pursuant to statutory directives and discretionary authority under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Support HR 5050 / S 2833, the Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act which would put a 36% interest rate cap on all small dollar loans. Support the following principles be included in any GSE reform: Establish capital levels consistent with what the GSEs are charging the market currently, consistent with statute and the unique risk characteristics of the GSEs. Maintain lines of business that enable the cross-subsidization of lending within all markets and communities, benefiting all borrowers. Retain FHFAs role as a strong independent regulator, with full oversight and approval of operations, capital requirements, fees, charges, and prudential standards. Ensure full and equal access for all lenders, regardless of size, including a prohibition on volume discounts with respect to guarantee fees, buy up and buy down fees, cash pricing, loan level price adjustments, and risk-sharing pricing. Serve all markets, including underserved, rural, and urban areas, equally. Expand access to all creditworthy borrowers and affordable housing through pooling of risk, more level pricing, and equitable distribution of the cost of catastrophic capital to protect against another market failure like the Great Recession; strengthening and ensuring compliance with affordable housing goals; enforcement of duty to serve obligations; compliance with fair housing and lending laws; and full funding of the Housing Trust Fund and Capital Magnet Fund. We believe that chartering additional guarantors would be overly disruptive and would not foster competition in the secondary market, instead creating a race-to-the-bottom environment for loan purchases and a potential competitive advantage that comes from vertical integration. Continue the credit risk transfer program by the GSEs to reduce their overall risk consistent with an economic benefit, with prohibitions on market structures/actions that create an unlevel playing field for loan origination. Charge a fair ongoing fee for maintenance of the existing Treasury line of credit or any explicit federal guarantee. Continue moving forward with administrative recapitalization plans to permit the GSEs to exit conservatorship into a utility-type system, including regulation of pricing and rates of return, to provide investors a fair return and to further the GSEs public mission. While we believe critical GSE reforms have already been accomplished through HERA and FHFA administrative actions, any additional reforms should achieve and conform to the above principles. HMDA data should still be disaggregated by race, gender, income and census tract category Support strong consumer protections (including no overdraft fees, the creation of a user lability, and equality directory, fraud prevention, and accessibility, availability and equality as the federal reserve builds out its FedNow real time payment system Support HR 3948, the Debt Collection Practices Harmonization Act; HR 4403, the Stop Debt Collection Abuse Act; HR 5021, the Ending Debt Collection Harassment Act; HR 5003, The Fair Debt Collection Protection for Servicemembers Act; and HR 5001, the Non-Judicial Foreclosure Debt Collection Clarification Act. Together, these bills extend debt collection protections to government debts, prohibit threatening servicemembers, clarify that non-judicial foreclosures are covered by FDCPA to fix Obduskey, adjust fees for inflation, require consent before text and email communications from debt collectors, and much more Support H.R. 5322 , the Ensuring Diversity in Community Banking Act of 2019 Oppose the FDIC proposed rulemaking which makes changes to, and weakens, the Community Reinvestment Act Support providing greater clarity to lenders on how FHA will address potential loan defects Support H.R. 1500, the Consumers First Act, which would restore the power to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB was first created in 2008 to protect all Americans from schemes designed to strip wealth from unsuspecting consumers and to protect people who may be targeted because of their race, ethnicity, gender, age, station in life, or other distinguishing characteristic. Many of the initiatives undertaken by the CFPB were good starts towards protecting our people as they worked to build wealth, or in too many cases, just make ends meet. H.R. 1500, the Consumer First Act, would restore crucial economic protections to help protect American consumers from predatory lenders.

Support firing Stephen Miller Support the FCC remedy the near 20-year failure to collect industry-wide employment statistics as required by law. Oppose the EEOCs commitment to meaningfully examine the 2017 and 2018 EEO-1 Component 2 pay data. Component 2 requires employers with 100 or more employees to report their employees pay by race, sex, ethnicity, and job category Support H. Res. 641, a resolution rejecting the racist and imperialist language present in the U.S. Supreme Court decisions referred to as the Insular Cases. These cases were decided in the early 20th century and establish the relationship between the United States and its territories, rest on deeply offensive racial and cultural assumptions, and include such terms as alien races and savage and restless people when referring to the people living in U.S. territories Oppose the notice published in the Federal Register on September 19, 2019 by the Department of Education regarding the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). Disaggregated data reported in the CRDC by race, ethnicity, native language, socioeconomic status, English learner status, disability status, disability type, and sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity) help us to know about students experiences in schools and whether all students have equal access to education. Effective data collection and dissemination are necessary for evaluation and review of all other programs and activities. Any change to limit the scope, frequency, or public accessibility of the civil rights data collection would certainly hamper the ability of the department to fulfill its legal obligations and would undermine our shared interest in the best education for every child Support H.R. 5322 , the Ensuring Diversity in Community Banking Act of 2019 Oppose H.R. 5331 , the Fairness For All Act. If enacted, this bill would undermine civil rights protections for women, people of color, people of faith and create substandard protections for LGBTQ people Oppose HUD's proposed Disparate Impact rule, as the existing rule is crucial to the continued and strengthened access to fair credit and homeownership Support H.R. 7, the Paycheck Fairness Act which would close gaps and loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 by: protecting against retaliation for discussing salaries with colleagues; prohibiting employers from screening job applicants based on their salary history or requiring a salary history during the interview and hiring process; requiring employers to prove that pay disparities exist for legitimate, job-related reasons; providing plaintiffs who file sex-based wage discrimination claims under the Equal Pay Act with the same remedies as are available to plaintiffs who file race- or ethnicity-based wage discrimination claims under the Civil Rights Act; removing obstacles in the Equal Pay Act to facilitate plaintiffs participation in class action lawsuits that challenge systemic pay discrimination. Support the Speier (CA) amendment to H.R. 2500, the National Defense and Authorization Act for 2020 (NDAA2020)," to require that ability alone establishes eligibility to serve in the armed services, and that factors including race, color, national origin, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation not be considered Support HR 5084, the Improving Corporate Government Though Diversity Act which requires certain issuers of securities to disclose the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of their boards of directors and executive officers, as well as the status of any of those directors and officers as a veteran. It also requires the disclosure of any plan to promote racial, ethnic, and gender diversity among these groups. It was referred to the Senate, where no further action has been taken.
