Industry Groups Express Support for Legislative Modification of DFA’s Definition of Points, Fees
March 21, 2013
Financial trade groups are backing bipartisan legislation introduced in the House that would modify the definition of points and fees in the Dodd-Frank Act ability-to-repay and “qualified mort-gage” provisions. Introduced by Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-MI, and backed by seven bipartisan cosponsors, H.R. 1077, the Consumer Mortgage Choice Act, would amend the DFA’s points-and-fees definition to avoid shutting out low and moderate-income borrowers from the QM market.
Some SWFs in other countries have extensive ownership interests in major corporations and sweep much of their profits into state coffers.
