It’s been close to 30 years since the federal bank regulatory agencies overhauled the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations. On May 5, 2022, after several false starts, the agencies issued a proposal to strengthen and modernize regulations implementing the CRA. The proposal features several significant revisions and will likely become final in 2023. 

This seminar examines the agencies’ proposed rules and provides a framework for you to begin planning for the CRA final rule.

The proposed regulations include major changes from the current regulations. Join us to review the agencies’ new proposed rule, with comparisons to the existing and prior proposed rules, and begin planning for the implementation of the rules once final.
