Reg Z: How Will the Recent Changes Affect Your Institution? What Other Regulatory Issues Loom in the Horizon?
ABA Telephone Briefing*

This recording of the two-hour, live telephone briefing held on June 30 provides you with a comprehensive overview of  the significant changes to Reg Z which were approved by the Federal Reserve Board on May 8. These regulatory amendments will revise the disclosure requirements for mortgage loans under Regulation Z and will become effective on July 30, 2009. This recording also includes a roundup of other pending regulatory issues affecting mortgage lending, and provide an overview of the increasing consumer claims against financial institutions.

The Federal Reserve Board recently approved regulations that finalize regulations to implement legislative changes enacted under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. These amendments to TILA, known as the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act of 2008 (MDIA), require creditors to make early disclosures no later than three business days after receiving a consumer's application for a dwelling-secured, closed-end loan, and ensure that consummation occurs only on or after the seventh business day following the delivery or mailing of these disclosures. The new rules set forth redisclosure requirements based on tolerances for accuracy, and creditors must provide consumers with corrections to be received on or before the third business day prior to consummation of the transaction.
