When the Trump administration began, the CFPB sent the message that they were going to be looking to the state regulators and states’ attorney general for a lot more leadership when it comes to enforcement of consumer protection laws. As such, in an effort to bridge the federal enforcement gap, the states have been ramping up enforcement actions in the consumer finance sector. Tune in as this panel of key state regulators discuss recent state law regulatory developments, enforcement priorities and how you and your company/clients should prepare to navigate the evolving state regulatory and enforcement landscape. Topics will include:
  • How states’ investigative powers differ from each other and from those of the CFPB
  • Recent state consumer finance enforcement activity
  • Recent state efforts to influence federal consumer finance enforcement
  • Federal preemption of state consumer financial protection efforts
  • Preparing for state exams and investigations
