AFSA Publishes State Coronavirus Response White Paper

Search results for 'coronavirus'

AFSA’s State Government Affairs (SGA) team today published a COVID-19 state policy update white paper, the second of two papers covering state responses to the coronavirus outbreak. The white paper provides a snapshot of key state activity in response to COVID-19, updating the information provided in AFSA’s previous COVID-19 white paper published last month. This month's white paper examines credit-specific policy changes, including mandatory fee waivers, payment deferrals, collections restrictions, and moratoriums on repossession and foreclosure. The paper also provides an overview of statewide closures of non-essential businesses, state attorneys general advocacy, DMV operating changes, and state legislative session adjustments.

This paper, along with SGA’s other white papers, can be found on the SGA resources section of AFSA’s website. In addition, AFSA’s coronavirus resource page, updated continually, contains both state and federal tracking charts and advocacy.
