This week, the Consumer Financial Profection Bureau conducted an official comment period on Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which gives federal regulators the authority to collect and disseminate specific information with regard to small business lending from banks and other financial insitutions. As detailed in this Next City article, CDBA "unequivocally supports" the purpose of Section 1071 for its potential to increase financial accountability, but recommends a series of changes and clarifications to reduce the burden of the law's implementation on community development banks.
