Last week, the American Financial Services Association submitted its top three issue priorities to the House Appropriations Committee per its request.
- The Federal Communications Commission should draft a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) rule that deals with autodialers.
- The Federal Trade Commission should carefully consider the impact its Safeguards Rule would have on businesses, which AFSA detailed in a letter last year.
- The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. should be encouraged to finalize their valid-when-made rules.
AFSA continues to work on a whole host of issues in addition to those it highlighted specifically to the committee.
