Electronic Fund Transfers; Determination of Effect on State Laws (Maine and Tennessee)
The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is publishing a final determination as to whether certain laws of Maine and Tennessee relating to unclaimed gift cards are inconsistent with and preempted by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and Regulation E. The Bureau has determined that it has no basis for concluding that the provisions at issue in Maine's unclaimed property law relating to gift cards are inconsistent with, or therefore preempted by, Federal law. As discussed below, however, the Bureau has determined that one provision in Tennessee's unclaimed property law relating to gift cards is inconsistent with, and therefore preempted by, Federal law.
Amendments to the 2013 Escrows Final Rule Under the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z)
This rule proposes clarifying and technical amendments to a final rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) on January 10, 2013, which, among other things, lengthens the time for which a mandatory escrow account established for a higher- priced mortgage loan (HPML) must be maintained. The rule also established an exemption from the escrow requirement for certain creditors that operate predominantly in ``rural'' or ``underserved'' areas. The amendments clarify the determination method for the ``rural'' and ``underserved'' designations and keep in place certain existing protections for HPMLs until other similar provisions take effect in January 2014.
