Downsize too-big-to-fail banks and financial firms to protect our financial system, economy, and American Taxpayers from future bailouts - downsize (restructure) too-big-to-fail (TBTF) banks and financial firms, reduce the probability and severity of future financial crisis and taxpayer bailouts, moral hazard, numerous TBTF misdeeds (abuse, fraud, manipulation and scandal),too-big-to-manage, too-big-to-regulate, too-big-to-fail, too-big-to-prosecute, too-big-to-jail, Department of Justices reluctance to prosecute TBTFs versus community banks, and Government Accountability Offices (GAO) confirmation of TBTFs funding advantages  (House and Senate)

Tiered regulation supervision and exemptions for community banks - recognition of the different business model and risks posed by TBTF banks and financial firms, one size fits all legislation and regulation, separate regulation - supervision - capital - liquidity requirements, disproportionate burden on community banks, unlevel playing field, and significant community bank competitive disadvantages  

Including, the qualifying threshold under the Federal Reserves Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement from $500 million to $5 billion and allowing small savings and loan holding companies to be covered by the Policy Statement, the internal control attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act from $75 million in market capitalization to $350 million, and savings and loan holding companies being able to take advantage of the increased Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shareholder registration and deregistration thresholds under the JOBS Act (House and Senate)

Including, community bank exemption from certain mortgage reforms to support the housing recovery, redundant annual privacy notices, municipal advisor registration burdens to help serve local governments, Assistant Treasury Secretary for Community Banks, CFPBs more balanced regulations, improved accountability in bank exams with a workable appeals process, accounting and auditing expenses for publicly traded institutions, mutual bank new charter and dividend rules, rigorous and quantitative justification of new rules, additional capital for small bank holding companies, red tape in small-business lending, capital formation and reforming Subchapter S corporation regulations, and extending the net-operating-loss carry-back (House and Senate)

Enhanced security for consumer data (data breaches) - responsible parties responsibility for fraud losses and the cost of mitigation, sharing of information, and a national standard for notification, community banks bearing the majority of fraud losses and reissuance costs, retailers responsibility to protect sensitive customer data (House and Senate)

Expanded powers for tax-exempt credit unions - outdated original business model and straying from founding purpose, federal tax-exemption status, expansion of powers, level the playing field between community banks and credit unions, regulatory requirements including the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) 

Including, expanded lending powers by increasing percentage of asset cap on business lending, and raising capital from outside investors (House and Senate)

Expansion of the Farm Credit System - funding & tax advantages, expansionist agenda, competitive advantages over rural community banks, regulatory safeguards and controls, Co-Banks $725 million participation in commitment to Verizon Communications (House and Senate)

Mortgage lending reforms - imprudent lending practices, impacting responsible lenders and loan products, meeting the diverse needs of community bank customers and their communities, differences between non-traditional versus predatory lending practices, exemption of community bank mortgage loans held in portfolio, restrictions on balloon mortgages and escrow requirements, prepayment penalties, originator compensation, limited credit availability 

Including, Qualified Mortgage (QM) status from the CFPBs Ability-to-Repay rules for loans originated and held in portfolio by community banks, balloon mortgages regardless of pricing, use of rural and underserved designations for QM eligibility for community banks and greatly expanding the definition of each, annual loan origination and asset threshold limits for small creditors, small servicer exemption for loans held in portfolio, community banks exemption from escrow requirements for loans held in portfolio and for small dollar amount loans, proposed adoption of the QM definition for Qualified Residential Mortgages (QRM) that would not require a high down-payment requirement (House and Senate)Housing Finance (GSE Secondary Market) Reform - Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/FHFA unsustainable long-term conservatorship,  community bank access to an impartial secondary market for residential mortgage loans, financial stable and reliable, government tie to secondary market (continued flow of credit and market liquidity), aggressive repurchase requests of transferred residential mortgages for technical violations 

Including, selling loans through an independent entity that does not compete with community banks, no appropriation of community bank customer data for the purpose of cross selling financial services, the Federal Home Loan Banks as a community bank access point (but not the only access point) to the national secondary market, pricing of any governmental guaranties, fairness and equality to all participants regardless of volume of loans guaranteed, and further consolidation of housing finance system that would result in several mega banks and financial firms dominating the market (House and Senate)

Tax, accounting and auditing changes - community bank focus supporting robust economic activity, savings & investments, accommodation/exemption for community banks, undue regulatory burden or cost on community banks 

Including, tax reform that preserves the pass-through option, including the Subchapter S corporation and the ability of business borrowers to deduct interest, taxation of capital gains and dividends held in parity and at a preferential rate, tax-exempt status of interest paid on municipal bonds together with an increase in the Bank Qualified (BQ) annual threshold to $30 million and indexed for inflation, the ability of business and mortgage borrowers to deduct interest without further limitations must also be preserved, changes to the tax laws that disadvantage one form of corporate entity versus another should include a phase-in period and an amnesty to allow for a penalty-free corporate conversion, S corporation banks ability to raise capital to be enhanced by giving them the ability to issue preferred stock, increasing their shareholder limits and allowing new IRA shareholder investments, end to the tax subsidies for credit unions and the FCS lenders, community banks amortizing CRE losses over 10 years (versus in the year in which they are taken), capital standards that recognize the loss-absorbing abilities of the entire amount of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), the 1.25% ALLL disallowance (for regulatory capital purposes) should be eliminated which would encourage banks to reserve more and would strengthen capital positions, the work of the Financial Accounting Foundations Private Company Council to seek recognition, measurement and disclosure alternatives for small private companies including non-public community banks.

Including, Financial Accounting Standard Boards (FASB) proposed expected loss model requiring community banks to develop costly complex cash flow models for loans and investment securities to generate expected losses over the lives of these assets where implementing this proposal will be to frontload loss recognition which would harm both community bank earnings and capital, FASBs proposal to restrict the ability of community banks to classify mortgage loans and investment securities at amortized cost when their intent is to collect contractual cash flows which is based on the exit price of a loan or security and on the current value in a non-distressed market and which would require costly robust pricing engines and complex valuation methodologies to satisfy the standard, FASBs proposal to require extensive liquidity risk and interest rate risk footnote disclosures that would be required to be audited which would undermine the work of the prudential regulators whose job entails assessing the safety and soundness of community banks including an assessment of liquidity and interest rate risk, and new bank specific fees or punitive tax levies specifically targeting the financial service sector (House and Senate)

Remaining Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act  

Including, rein in Significantly Important Financial Institution (SIFI) with enhanced prudential standards and rigorous focused regulation, higher capital requirements, capital surcharges, concentration limits, liquidity requirements, orderly liquidation rules, credible contingency resolution plan, shielding community banks from the Dodd-Frank required increase in the deposit insurance fund reserve ratio from 1.15% to 1.35%, Volcker Rules prohibition on propriety trading and investment in and sponsorship of hedge funds and private equity funds, effectively exempting community banks

De novo community bank formation - need to maintain growing, vibrant & evolving banking profession, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations (FDIC) actively inhibiting de novo community bank formation, inappropriate and restrictive one-size-fits-all supervisory policy (House and Senate)
 
Maintain the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)System - strong partnership with community banks, healthy, stable & reliable source of funding for community banks, FHLBs should not be the sole aggregators for residential mortgages for community banks in the reform of the housing GSEs, preservation of the FHLBs special functions and purposes (House and Senate)

Excessive (Federal Reserve) intervention in monetary policy - significant drag on community banks net interest margins and earnings, limits on what monetary policy can accomplish, impact on community banks, savers and senior citizens (House and Senate)
