The 2024 Regular State Legislative Session session marked a significant milestone for our credit union community with numerous legislative initiatives on the table that will influence the future of Louisiana. Our dedicated advocacy team has worked tirelessly to promote measures that benefit our members and foster a thriving environment for credit unions across the state.

Join us virtually on June 13th at 10:00 am for our Credit Union Town Hall Session Recap. We will be joined by Senator Kirk Talbot, Senator Robert Allain, and Representative Troy Herbert* to provide an overall session recap as well as an update on the insurance package aimed at reducing home and flood insurance.

*Legislators subject to change and availability

In 2019 Regulation CC (Expedited Funds Availability Act) was updated, impacting the hold amounts for when a member deposits a check into their checking account. These limits are now tied to a consumer price index and are adjusted every 5 years. With the last adjustment period ending in July 2023 the CFPB and the Federal Reserve Board have now jointly adjusted the dollar amounts that a financial institution must make available from a check. While the compliance deadline is not until July 1, 2025, there is a lot to do to get ready.

One way to get your to-do list of what’s needed is to register for the “Implementing Reg CC Changes” webinar with Debbie Crawford on June 17, 2024. During this 90-minute webinar Debbie will discuss the new number for case-by-case holds, large deposits and new accounts. She will also discuss sample problems as well as sample checklists. This webinar is aimed at compliance personnel, tellers, teller supervisors, trainers, branch operations staff and anyone who works with holds.

The deadline to join the Enhanced Financial Counselor Certification Course for the fall session is next week. Register for the fall program by June 13th to ensure you’re ready to dive into the education program on August 5th. 

This semi self-paced course is designed to fit into your busy schedule while simultaneously providing the structure and support you need to complete the course and pass your exam with ease and confidence!
