Bill Summary

Federal Savings Association Charter Flexibility Act of 2017 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the Home Owners' Loan Act to permit a federal savings association to elect to operate, subject to supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, with the same rights and duties as a national bank (including operating without certain lending restrictions).

AI Summary

This bill amends the Home Owners' Loan Act to allow federal savings associations to elect to operate as "covered savings associations," which have the same rights and duties as national banks (including operating without certain lending restrictions), subject to supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The bill requires the Comptroller to issue rules to establish the process for a federal savings association to make this election, address any non-conforming assets or subsidiaries, and allow for the termination of the election. This provides federal savings associations with more flexibility in their operations.
