League representatives thanked Senator Fischer for her support and co-sponsorship of several bills supported by Nebraska\u2019s credit unions including S. 608, the Credit Union Board Modernization Act; S. 7297, the Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act; and S. Res. 32, the Congressional Review Act of CFPB Business Data Rule.<\/p>\n<p>Credit union advocates discussed the importance of the electronic payments system, how interchange revenues support that system, and how the Credit Card Competition Act would stifle innovation in the system and place credit unions and their members at risk. In addition to interchange, advocates discussed regulatory pressures that threaten the ability of credit unions to provide critical services to their members. Advocates discussed the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, its use of the term \u201cjunk fees\u201d, and its attack on overdraft protection and credit card late fees.<\/p>\n<p>League representatives provided Senator Fischer with an update on three Nebraska schools that the League will sponsor this coming school year by providing them with \u201cFoundations in Personal Finance\u201d curriculum offered by Ramsey Solutions.
