Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2021 This bill establishes certain federal criminal offenses related to voting and sets forth additional requirements for federal elections. The bill makes it a crime to (1) intimidate, threaten, coerce, or harass an election worker (i.e., an election official, a poll worker, or an election volunteer) with the intent to interfere with the official duties of, or retaliate against, the worker; or (2) publicly disclose restricted personal information about an election worker or an immediate family member with the intent to threaten or cause harm to the worker or the family member. In addition, the bill restricts the ability of a statewide election administrator to remove a local election administrator. A statewide election administrator may suspend, remove, or relieve the duties of a local election administrator only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance while in office. Further, the bill establishes certain requirements for challenging an individual's eligibility to register to vote or vote in federal elections. The bill also sets a minimum distance for poll observers.

CBAI 2020 Federal Policy Priorities - Community Bank Response to the COVID-19 Crisis COVID-19 has focused community bank efforts on helping their individual and small business customers and their communities weather the virus crisis and assist in the recovery effort. This was a commitment above and beyond what was normally expected, but one which community bankers were happy to fulfill. Community banks stepped-up during the crisis despite the many challenges and frustrations they encountered. They should be commended for what they are doing, treated fairly and equally, encouraged to do more, and not penalized for successfully performing their essential function. The Independent Community Bankers of Americas Legislative and Regulatory Agenda Contained in their Community Focus 2020: The Community Bank Agenda for Expanding Economic Opportunity CBAI joins the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in supporting a more efficient system of regulation, unbiased laws governing the financial sector, a safer and more secure business environment, and more efficient agricultural policies to support the nations economic growth and development in every corner of the country. Completing the Implementation of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155) The banking regulators have almost completed implementing S. 2155 so community banks can benefit from all of the regulatory relief measures. Community bankers, the associations that represent their interests, and Congress (which represent this vital economic constituency) must diligently insist on the swift completion the rulemaking - consistent with Congressional intent. Additional Meaningful Regulatory Relief for Community Banks Community bankers seek additional regulatory relief including on several fronts (i.e., BSA reform, CTRs , SARs, tax exempt interest on agricultural and small business loans, and beneficial ownership reporting) to permit them to serve their customers and communities better and more efficiently. The Community Bank Position on Credit Unions and Their Expanded Powers Credit unions have long-since strayed from their founding purposes, blatantly abusing their competitive advantages and are virtually indistinguishable from tax-paying community banks. Credit union acquisitions of community banks is a recent and disturbing trend that negatively impacts all taxpayers. This escalation of credit unions abusing of their tax-exemption should prompt Congress to Wake Up and act - NOW. This abuse is an existential threat to community banks and the communities they serve. Closing the Industrial Loan Company (ILC) Regulatory Loophole ILCs represent the unacceptable mixing of banking and commerce, because of the risks they pose to the financial system, our economy and American taxpayers. ILCs are the functional equivalent of banks and should be properly regulated. The loophole that excludes their holding companies from being supervised and regulated by the Federal Reserve must be closed. The Community Bank Position on the Farm Credit System and its Expanded Powers The Farm Credit System (FCS) has long-since strayed from its founding purposes, blatantly abusing its competitive advantages against community banks. The FCS is the only GSE that competes directly with community banks. This blatant and continuing discrimination against community banks must end and FCS competitive advantages must be reined-in and the playing field leveled for community banks. The Federal Reserves Role in Payments System Improvement A fast and secure payments system is the very foundation of financial services and economy and must be modernized. The payments system must not be monopolized by The Clearing House and its 25 large bank owners that endangered our financial system and the entire economy during the financial crisis. Community banks, small businesses and consumers must rely on the Federal Reserve to provide access to a safe and secure payments system. The Federal Reserve must be supported in its development of the FedNow Service to ensure that all participants have access to a real-time system on a fair and impartial basis. Modernizing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) The modernization of the CRA must enhance the ability of community banks to serve their communities and must not impose any additional regulatory burden. All financial service providers must be subject to the CRA to provide a complete picture of every financial institutions performance in serving their communities. A modernization of the CRA that does not encompass credit unions, Farm Credit System lenders and Fintechs (including the OCCs Special Purpose National Banks) will be a sham. Modifying the FDICs Brokered Deposit Rule The FDIC proposed brokered deposit rule needs to be updated to reflect modern ways of gathering deposits and they should not be viewed unfavorably, and subject to unreasonable restrictions. A properly tailored brokered deposit rule will ensure that it does not place undue limits on the reasonable use of brokered deposits by community banks. Safe Harbor for Banking Cannabis-Related Businesses Without taking a position on the legalization of cannabis, it is a matter of public safety to have a safe harbor from federal sanctions for financial institutions that choose to serve legally-compliant cannabis-related business in states where cannabis is legal. CBAI has expressed its support in Congress for the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 (H.R. 1595) which provides this legal safe harbor. De Novo Community Bank Formation, the Dual Banking System and Charter Choice Newly chartered (de novo) community banks are vitally important to maintaining a strong, growing, evolving and vibrant profession in the face of banking industry consolidation. Recent and encouraging signs by the FDIC to approve de novo charter applications must continue and many new banks should be chartered each year to help maintain the vitality of the community banking profession. The dual banking system, where chartering and supervision is divided between the federal government and the states is important and must be maintained. Community banks should be able to choose the banking charter that best fits their unique business model. A banking system with multi-agency (state and federal) regulators and charter choice provides the necessary checks and balances as well as improved rulemaking. Sound Principles for GSE Reform The seemingly endless and ongoing period of government ownership and control of Fannie and Freddie must come to an end. GSE reform remains critically important to the future of the housing market and the U.S. economy. The GSEs must provide a steady and reliable source of funding for home mortgage lending for lenders of all sizes and through all economic cycles. This is particularly critical to maintaining liquidity when the markets are experiencing financial stress. The Federal Home Loan Banks Most community banks are members and shareholders of their regional Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The FHLBs provide short-term liquidity, long-term funding, mortgage-related products, and other financial services in order to help their members provide affordable credit to the local communities they serve. The regional structure, special functions, and unique purpose of the FHLBs must be recognized and maintained by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). As the Administration and Congress consider reforming the housing finance system, care must be taken not to harm the FHLBs. They must remain healthy, stable, and reliable sources of funding for their members. Agriculture and Rural America A vibrant rural economy is vital to Americas prosperity. The multi-year Farm Bill provided a strong safety net for farmers and ranchers including adequate price-protection programs and enhanced USDA-guaranteed farm and business loan programs. These programs must be protected from cuts or any adverse changes that would discourage farmer and rancher participation or undermine private-sector delivery. Enhanced Data, Cyber and Payment Card Security (Data Security) Enhanced security standards should be enforced through a tiered system where the more restrictive rules and are imposed on the largest and most critical members of the financial system and economy where their lapses pose the greatest threat to the largest number of consumers. Core data security principals in standards enacted by legislation and regulations must include the complete cost of data breaches being borne by that party that caused the breach; all participants should be subject to verifiable Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act-like data security standards; and any new data security standard proposals should ensure that community banks are not overburdened with redundant standards. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Reform and Meaningful Exemptions for Community Banks Regulations promulgated by the CFPB must provide community banks with the flexibility to meet the needs of its customers and they must not be burdened with additional and unnecessary regulatory requirements that would prevent them from serving their customers and communities. A one-size-fits-all approach to CFPB regulations harms the successful community bank business model. In reforming the CFPB, the single Director governance should be replaced by a five-member board or commission; a broader definition of firms that grant credit should be subject to the CFPB rules, they should be robustly supervised and examined; and the focus of any enhanced regulation of financial products should be on the mega banks and financial firms, the unregulated shadow financial industry and emerging Fintech companies. The CFPB has the statutory authority under the Dodd-Frank Act to exempt any class of providers [community banks] or any products or services from the rules it writes, but to-date the Bureau has been far too reticent to do so. The effective use of this authority will ensure community banks continue to be a healthy alternative to large banks and non-banks for consumers seeking to use responsible financial service providers. The Community Bank Positions on Emerging Issues OCC - Special Purpose Fintech National Bank (SPNBs) Fintech Charters The Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) intends to issue special purpose national banking charters to Fintech companies. Fintechs cannot have the advantages of a national bank charter with limited requirements, regulations, and liability. FASB - Current Expected Credit Loss Model (CECL) Community bankers and Congress must continue to be vigilant to assure the CECL Model implementation provides a clear, practical, and easy-to-use methodologies for calculating expected losses which can be seamlessly incorporated into existing processes for community banks. CFPB - Customer Data Sharing Community banks are financially sound and take great care in protecting consumer privacy. Non-bank entities must be held responsible for ensuring the safety of the customer information they are accessing and be able to satisfy the liability for any financial harm which they cause community banks and their consumers. CFPB - Small-Dollar Consumer Lending Appropriate action will be required, as the revised implementation of the rule unfolds to assure appropriate and responsible access to small dollar loans by consumers and to minimize any negative impact on community banks small-dollar consumer lending. CFPB - Small Business Data Collection Small business lending data clearly suggests fair lending is not a problem at community banks as they treat their customers honestly and fairly. The regulatory burden of the collection and reporting requirements fall disproportionately hard on community banks, and Section 1071 should either be repealed, or community banks should be provided with a meaningful exception. Federal Reserve - Modernize Reg CC Fraud losses are increasing at community banks and Reg CC needs to keep pace with the technology. All banks, credit unions, and others who utilize the payments system should be operating on the same level playing field when it comes to return reasons for fraud and acknowledging and communicating about fraud. Finally Address the Risks of Too-Big-To-Fail Banks and Financial Firms to Protect Our Financial System, the Economy, and American Taxpayers from Future Bailouts The financial crisis, taxpayer bail-outs, and subsequent recession was caused by the misconduct of the nations largest banks and financial firms. These megabanks have proven, at great cost to American taxpayers, that they cannot be effectively managed, supervised or disciplined. They are clearly too-big-to-change, too-big-to-fail and must be downsized.

CBAI 2020 Federal Policy Priorities - Community Bank Response to the COVID-19 Crisis COVID-19 has focused community bank efforts on helping their individual and small business customers and their communities weather the virus crisis and assist in the recovery effort. This was a commitment above and beyond what was normally expected, but one which community bankers were happy to fulfill. Community banks stepped-up during the crisis despite the many challenges and frustrations they encountered. They should be commended for what they are doing, treated fairly and equally, encouraged to do more, and not penalized for successfully performing their essential function. The Independent Community Bankers of Americas Legislative and Regulatory Agenda Contained in their Community Focus 2020: The Community Bank Agenda for Expanding Economic Opportunity CBAI joins the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) in supporting a more efficient system of regulation, unbiased laws governing the financial sector, a safer and more secure business environment, and more efficient agricultural policies to support the nations economic growth and development in every corner of the country. Completing the Implementation of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155) The banking regulators have almost completed implementing S. 2155 so community banks can benefit from all of the regulatory relief measures. Community bankers, the associations that represent their interests, and Congress (which represent this vital economic constituency) must diligently insist on the swift completion the rulemaking - consistent with Congressional intent. Additional Meaningful Regulatory Relief for Community Banks Community bankers seek additional regulatory relief including on several fronts (i.e., BSA reform, CTRs , SARs, tax exempt interest on agricultural and small business loans, and beneficial ownership reporting) to permit them to serve their customers and communities better and more efficiently. The Community Bank Position on Credit Unions and Their Expanded Powers Credit unions have long-since strayed from their founding purposes, blatantly abusing their competitive advantages and are virtually indistinguishable from tax-paying community banks. Credit union acquisitions of community banks is a recent and disturbing trend that negatively impacts all taxpayers. This escalation of credit unions abusing of their tax-exemption should prompt Congress to Wake Up and act - NOW. This abuse is an existential threat to community banks and the communities they serve. The Community Bank Position on the Farm Credit System and its Expanded Powers The Farm Credit System (FCS) has long-since strayed from its founding purposes, blatantly abusing its competitive advantages against community banks. The FCS is the only GSE that competes directly with community banks. This blatant and continuing discrimination against community banks must end and FCS competitive advantages must be reined-in and the playing field leveled for community banks. The Federal Reserves Role in Payments System Improvement A fast and secure payments system is the very foundation of financial services and economy and must be modernized. The payments system must not be monopolized by The Clearing House and its 25 large bank owners that endangered our financial system and the entire economy during the financial crisis. Community banks, small businesses and consumers must rely on the Federal Reserve to provide access to a safe and secure payments system. The Federal Reserve must be supported in its development of the FedNow Service to ensure that all participants have access to a real-time system on a fair and impartial basis. Modernizing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) The modernization of the CRA must enhance the ability of community banks to serve their communities and must not impose any additional regulatory burden. All financial service providers must be subject to the CRA to provide a complete picture of every financial institutions performance in serving their communities. A modernization of the CRA that does not encompass credit unions, Farm Credit System lenders and Fintechs (including the OCCs Special Purpose National Banks) will be a sham. Safe Harbor for Banking Cannabis-Related Businesses Without taking a position on the legalization of cannabis, it is a matter of public safety to have a safe harbor from federal sanctions for financial institutions that choose to serve legally-compliant cannabis-related business in states where cannabis is legal. CBAI has expressed its support in Congress for the Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act of 2019 (H.R. 1595) which provides this legal safe harbor. Sound Principles for GSE Reform The seemingly endless and ongoing period of government ownership and control of Fannie and Freddie must come to an end. GSE reform remains critically important to the future of the housing market and the U.S. economy. The GSEs must provide a steady and reliable source of funding for home mortgage lending for lenders of all sizes and through all economic cycles. This is particularly critical to maintaining liquidity when the markets are experiencing financial stress. The Federal Home Loan Banks Most community banks are members and shareholders of their regional Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The FHLBs provide short-term liquidity, long-term funding, mortgage-related products, and other financial services in order to help their members provide affordable credit to the local communities they serve. The regional structure, special functions, and unique purpose of the FHLBs must be recognized and maintained by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). As the Administration and Congress consider reforming the housing finance system, care must be taken not to harm the FHLBs. They must remain healthy, stable, and reliable sources of funding for their members. Agriculture and Rural America A vibrant rural economy is vital to Americas prosperity. The multi-year Farm Bill provided a strong safety net for farmers and ranchers including adequate price-protection programs and enhanced USDA-guaranteed farm and business loan programs. These programs must be protected from cuts or any adverse changes that would discourage farmer and rancher participation or undermine private-sector delivery. Enhanced Data, Cyber and Payment Card Security (Data Security) Enhanced security standards should be enforced through a tiered system where the more restrictive rules and are imposed on the largest and most critical members of the financial system and economy where their lapses pose the greatest threat to the largest number of consumers. Core data security principals in standards enacted by legislation and regulations must include the complete cost of data breaches being borne by that party that caused the breach; all participants should be subject to verifiable Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act-like data security standards; and any new data security standard proposals should ensure that community banks are not overburdened with redundant standards. The Community Bank Positions on Emerging Issues CFPB - Small Business Data Collection Small business lending data clearly suggests fair lending is not a problem at community banks as they treat their customers honestly and fairly. The regulatory burden of the collection and reporting requirements fall disproportionately hard on community banks, and Section 1071 should either be repealed, or community banks should be provided with a meaningful exception. Finally Address the Risks of Too-Big-To-Fail Banks and Financial Firms to Protect Our Financial System, the Economy, and American Taxpayers from Future Bailouts The financial crisis, taxpayer bail-outs, and subsequent recession was caused by the misconduct of the nations largest banks and financial firms. These megabanks have proven, at great cost to American taxpayers, that they cannot be effectively managed, supervised or disciplined. They are clearly too-big-to-change, too-big-to-fail and must be downsized.
