About the bill
H.R. 2954 amends the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 (HMDA) to exempt from maintenance of mortgage loan records and disclosure requirements depository institutions that have originated in each of the two preceding calendar years:
- Fewer than 500 closed-end mortgage loans; and
- Fewer than 500 open-end lines of credit.
Additionally, the bill lessens requirements for depository institutions to itemize and disclose specified mortgage loan data including the number and dollar amount of mortgage loans groups according to measurements of certain fees and costs, and the number and dollar amount of mortgage loans and completed applications grouped according to measurements related to a consumer credit profile.
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA)requires many depository institutions and other lenders to report information about the home loans that they decision, originate, or purchase.
