of other prospects.
3) Government relations - State

are priority.

unclaimed property act, Electronic notary act, state-sponsored retirement, construction litigation reform, elder abuse, Dept.
of Natural Resources seeking to get priority lien on abandoned well sites.
c) Bill coming to seek exemption from registration as mortgage lender for family members who make 3 or fewer loans to a
family member within a year’s time.
d) Idea being floated to combine banking commissioner job with commissioner of financial services for CO. Would become
a gubernatorial appointment (cabinet) position. Most states operate that way.
4) Government relations – Federal
a) It is a rapidly changing environment. Don detailed cabinet appointments and open positions. He noted that Tom
Hoenig, vice president of the FDIC seeks to become vice chair of the Fed. CFPB’s Cordray’s fate is undetermined but
will likely be addressed in 90 days. Curry’s term is up soon, too. Hensarling is arguing to de-fund CFPB.
b) Don reviewed Trump’s executive orders and their impact on banks. ABA has filed litigation re: FAST Act dividends. It
will be May or June before anything is known on the case.
c) ADA issue- not likely to get an amendment. Working with judiciary committees to attach right-to-cure rule onto
something else. CO’s Ken Buck sits on one of the committees.
d) TAILOR Act reintroduced. It’s off and running to a good start.
5) Strategic issues:
a) Don reviewed survey results of the CBA BOD related to organization’s future and priorities. Conclusions included that
bankers must be opportunistic this year, and top priorities include; TAILOR Act, Portfolio loans issue, CFPB reforms, repeal
of the Durbin Amendment.
6) With no new business, the Board adjourned.
