NAFCU supports inclusion of NAFCU-backed Expanding Financial Access for Underserved Communities Act in DEI package ([link removed] )

NAFCU Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Greg Mesack wrote to the House Rules Committee Friday regarding its hearing and markup today that discusses a legislative package on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the Financial Services Racial Equity, Inclusion, and Economic Justice Act. Of note, the Act currently includes the NAFCU-backed Expanding Financial Access for Underserved Communities Act, which allows all types of federal credit unions to add underserved areas to their field of membership. In addition, the bill adds "banking deserts," areas not within 10 miles of a branch of a financial institution, to the definition of an underserved area. However, an amendment was filed for the Rules markup by Representative Andy Barr, R-KY., that would strike that provision from the bill.

The new optional mileage rate is set to go into effect on July 1, 2022. NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger in March urged the agency to adjust the mileage rate, to better reflect the strained oil market and rising gas prices as well as the impacts consumers face because of inflation and economic recovery related to the coronavirus pandemic.
