Bill Summary

Protecting Consumers' Access to Credit Act of 2017 This bill amends the Revised Statutes, the Home Owners' Loan Act, the Federal Credit Union Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to state that bank loans that are valid when made as to their maximum rate of interest in accordance with federal law shall remain valid with respect to that rate regardless of whether a bank has subsequently sold or assigned the loan to a third party.

AI Summary

This bill amends several federal laws, including the Revised Statutes, the Home Owners' Loan Act, the Federal Credit Union Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, to establish that a loan that is valid when made in terms of its maximum interest rate will remain valid with respect to that rate, even if the loan is subsequently sold or transferred to a third party. This is intended to codify the longstanding "valid-when-made" legal doctrine, which the bill argues enhances credit market liquidity and access to affordable financial services. The bill also includes a rule of construction to clarify that it does not limit the authority or jurisdiction of various federal financial regulators.
