Access to Credit for Small Businesses Impacted by the COVID-19 Crisis Act of 2020 This bill eases certain restrictions on credit unions regarding liquidity and lending. The bill extends waivers applicable to National Credit Union Administration Central Liquidity Facility membership and credit-extension restrictions through December 31, 2021. These waivers currently expire on December 31, 2020. (The National Credit Union Administration Central Liquidity Facility serves as a lender to credit unions that are experiencing certain liquidity shortfalls.) The bill also temporarily provides credit unions with an exception to limits on outstanding member business loans. Specifically, a loan does not count towards this limit if (1) it is used for recovery from the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) emergency, (2) it is made by an insured credit union that has received a specified soundness rating, (3) it is made during a specified time period, and (4) it does not threaten the safety and soundness of the insured credit union.

Lapses by the retail industry/merchants in securing consumer information continue to be extremely problematic and costly to consumers and financial institutions. MCUL is advocating that Congress hold retailers to the same or similar data security standards as the financial service industry has to abide by and require retailers notify credit unions sooner once a breach occurs. We support the recently introduced SAFE DATA Act (S. 4626) as a base bill and will call on Congress to amend the bill to ensure all businesses, institutions and organizations that collect, use or share personal data are subject to national standards, to include language that preempts state requirements, among other things. MCUL supports modernizing the Federal Credit Union Act (FCUA). The financial service industry is rapidly changing. Advancements in technology, including high speed internet connectivity, have significantly change our society and how financial institutions do business. Updating the FCUA has become necessary to ensure federally chartered credit unions have the powers and flexibility to be competitive and members can benefit from new technology. We are currently supporting H.R. 1661, a bill that would provide the NCUA flexibility to increase non-mortgage loan maturity limits for federal credit unions. We are also supporting H.R. 2305 and S.2834, a bill that would exempt business loans to veterans from the member business loan cap. Additionally, we support H.R. 7963 to allow expulsion for cause of an unruly/abusive member; S. 3326, to remove outdated duties for credit union boards and remove the requirement for credit unions to provide NCUA with the names of its loan officers from the FCUA; and the Board Governance Modernization Act, to modify the FCUA requirement that credit union boards meet once a month to not less than six times per year. Finally, we support H.R. 6789 and S. 3676 that would exempt credit union loans related to the COVID-19 pandemic from the MBL for a period of three years. MCUL is monitoring developments for GSE/housing finance reform and will advocate to make sure any reforms reflect the significant role credit unions play in the secondary mortgage market and we will defend against anything that is potentially harmful to credit unions and our members. MCUL supports congressional efforts, including H.R. 2514, the COUNTER Act, and S.2563, the ILLICIT CASH Act, to reform bank secrecy act/anti-money laundering reforms and provide financial institutions relief from unnecessary, duplicate and burdensome rules. We supported language in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act that would index the currency transaction report threshold for inflation and supported language in H.R. 6395 that would require a study on CTR and SAR reporting threshold and reduce regulatory burden on financial institutions by not requiring them to gather and submit beneficial ownership info to FINCEN. MCUL supported/supports passage of legislation making reforms to the Paycheck Protection Act, including the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-142), S. 4116 (extending the authority under PPP until August 8), and the Paycheck Protection Small Business Forgiveness Act (S. 4117). We are also requesting Congress include in any Phase 4 emergency stimulus bill: S. 4117, providing small businesses with PPP loans under $150k with automatic forgiveness; S. 3620, establishing a housing assistance fund; S.4159; a bill to modernize the E-Sign Act to reflect advancements in technology over the past 20 years and streamline how consumers consent to receiving electronic documents and remove barriers that some face to receiving important documents; approve $1 billion in CDFI fund; include language to better effectuate electronic and remote notarizations; extend CARES Act provisions, specifically related to the Central Liquidity Facility and Troubled Debt Restructuring. Finally, we are educating Congress on provisions in the HEROES Act we believe to be harmful to financial institutions and our members, including moratoriums on foreclosures, evictions, and collections and provisions dealing with negative credit reporting and adverse information on credit reports and urging Congress to taking our concerns into consideration if they proceed with addressing these issues in a Phase 4 bill.
