Mulvaney also stated he would revisit prior leaderships decision to go beyond the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) reporting requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act. The previous Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requirements demonstrate that the CFPBs prior leadership did not understand our community banks and credit unions. Just as one burdensome mortgage rule was finalized, our community financial institutions had to deal with a new rule. Dozens of these institutions in my district urged me to pressure the CFPB to reverse course, said Rep. Hultgren. Today, however, its refreshing to see the results of new CFPB leadership in my former colleague Mick Mulvaney who recognizes the importance of community financial institutions. Im grateful for his leadership and the CFPBs decision to give community banks and credit unions some breathing room so they can refocus on meeting the financial needs of families and small businesses in Illinois. This week, Rep. Hultgren joined Rep. Tom Emmer (MN-06) in introducing the Home Mortgage Reporting Relief Act, H.R. 4648, which would have given community banks and credit unions additional time to comply with the new rules. Rep. Hultgren has raised privacy concerns regarding the CFBPs authority to request and post the personal financial data of Americans online. He has introduced legislation asking for an independent study of the practice. I hope the CFPB also uses this review of HMDA to determine whether or not making this data public violates my constituents privacy, said Rep. Hultgren. Furthermore, the clear problems with the CFPBs HMDA rulemaking call into question whether the CFPB should exercise its authority under Section 1071 in Dodd-Frank which provides authority to make similar data requests of small business loans, said Rep. Hultgren. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
