Today, the U.S. Senate passed the Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act, H.R. 3468, by unanimous consent. The legislation, originally introduced by U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) last November, passed the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously on May 6, 2014.
“The Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act strengthens national credit unions’ commitment to IOLTAs and the legal services they help fund for local communities,” said Rep. Royce. “The universal support for this bill in both chambers of Congress speaks to the merits of establishing parity for the treatment of IOLTAs and other similar accounts regardless of whether they are kept at a bank or a credit union.”
“Prior to being elected to Congress, I practiced law for 30 years and in that time I established many Lawyer Trust Accounts for clients. This legislation is critical to ensuring an IOLTA’s full value in light of any potential credit union failure,” said cosponsor U.S. Representative Ed Perlmutter (D-CO). “More importantly, the interest earned on Lawyer Trust Accounts goes to grants improving access to civil justice and legal services for the poor.”

U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) released the following statement in response to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) announcement that it will divert money to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund pursuant to the Agency’s interpretation of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA):
“Contrary to what Fannie and Freddie apologists claim, the GSEs have yet to repay any of the taxpayer-funded bailout funds they received, which makes today’s announcement by the FHFA outrageous. Money coming in from the GSEs should go to the taxpayers instead of a slush fund for ideological housing groups to play around with.”
Rep. Royce, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, authored the Pay Back the Taxpayers Act of 2014 to specifically prohibit contributions by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Market Fund while the institutions are in conservatorship or receivership.
Rep. Royce also joined House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) in a writing a letter to FHFA Director Mel Watt urging the continuation of the FHFA’s five-year-old policy of suspending contributions to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund.
Additionally, during consideration of the FY 2015 …read more
