Rescinds State Official Notification Procedures
Summary
The CFPB issued a direct final rule rescinding its procedures requiring State officials to notify the CFPB when taking action to enforce the Consumer Financial Protection Act. The rule removes an administrative notification step from the state enforcement process. The rule was effective immediately upon publication and applies to State officials exercising enforcement authority under the Act.
“This direct final rule rescinds the CFPB's procedures by which a State official must notify the CFPB when the official takes an action to enforce the Consumer Financial Protection Act.”
State enforcement officials and their counsel should review updated enforcement protocols to confirm that the former CFPB notification requirement no longer applies to state actions under the Consumer Financial Protection Act. This streamlines state enforcement timelines by removing a coordination step, though state enforcers retain any independent authority under their own state statutes.
What changed
The CFPB rescinded its State official notification procedures, eliminating the requirement that State officials notify the Bureau when taking action to enforce the Consumer Financial Protection Act. This removes an administrative coordination step from the state enforcement process.
State attorneys general and other State officials who enforce consumer financial protection laws will no longer be required to file notifications with the CFPB under these procedures. Compliance and legal teams at affected agencies should update enforcement protocols accordingly.
