Industry Groups Express Support for Legislative Modification of DFAs 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 DFAs points-and-fees definition to avoid shutting out low and moderate-income borrowers from the QM market.
