Dodd-Frank

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued an interpretive rule Friday to clarify changes made to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act that were mandated by President Trump's regulatory relief law.

The mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would have to draw as much as $78 billion in the event of a serious economic crisis, according to stress test results released Tuesday by the housing regulator.

Conservatives will continue to fight for the kinds of reforms embodied in the Choice Act for decades to come, and history suggests they will likely win out.

The D.C. movers and shakers at the center of the financial crisis — and the government’s response — have all moved on to new positions. Here's a look at what they did afterward.

The federal bank regulators are considering roughly a dozen new rulemakings in response to the bill rolling back certain sections of Dodd-Frank.

The nominee to run the consumer bureau endured tough questioning over the administration’s family-separation policy but appeared to weather the barrage.

Just before members were removed from the consumer advisory board last month, acting Director Mick Mulvaney signed an amended charter that would shrink the panel to six members.

With ruling in GSE case, the two agencies are emerging as the test subjects for a legal showdown over their authority.

As part of a capital-formation bill, House lawmakers are attempting to sprinkle in a handful of provisions to ease the industry’s burden.

Members of the panel and two other advisory boards were all terminated in June and told they could not reapply for their positions.

A more conservative court will be likelier to rule favorably on issues ranging from the deference for regulatory agencies to what constitutes a fair-lending violation.

It is still a long shot that a rival of Mick Mulvaney's will be able to reclaim the agency's top job, but judges have raised questions over whether Mulvaney can keep the position.

The Democratic leader in the House raised questions about Kathy Kraninger's "qualifications to lead such an important agency."

The House Financial Services Committee approved a bill that would roll back the requirements of the TILA-RESPA integrated disclosures rule for charities like Habitat for Humanity and instead allow them to use the old good faith estimate and HUD-1 mortgage forms.

The acting director cited the size of advisory boards and some members’ reticence among reasons for his decision.

Acting CFPB Director Mick Mulvaney wrote in a two-paragraph filing that the Mount Laurel, N.J., company did not violate the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau fired all 25 members of the agency's Consumer Advisory Board during a conference call Wednesday, saying it wanted to bring in more diverse views.

Acting Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Mick Mulvaney is poised to dismiss its administrative proceeding against the mortgage lender, following a four-year battle over the agency's structure.

Since its inception, the qualified mortgage rule has been synonymous with loans purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or guaranteed by government agencies. But a broader QM definition could change that by creating more competitive private-label options.

Anticipated changes to the qualified mortgage rule will give lenders more options and force them to rethink their views on risk.
