Cantero vs. BofA Litigation

NASCUS has been monitoring developments in the litigation regarding state requirements that mortgage lenders pay at least 2% interest on escrow accounts associated with residential mortgages. The policy behind these laws is to prevent mortgage lenders from requiring excessive property tax escrow requirements. There are 13 states with such laws.

Those states are: CA/NY/CT/IA/ME/MD/MA/MN/NH/OR/RI/UT/WI.

At the heart of the litigation is whether the National Bank Act (NBA) preempts those state laws with respect to National Banks. If it is found to do so, state-chartered banks in those states would be left subject to the law, while national banks would not. Our interest of course is what, if any, implications there may be for credit unions and NCUA.

To help us walk thru the implications, we will be joined by DWT partners Bradford Hardin and Chava Brandriss for a video call to discuss the case and its implications.

For background, we have pulled the relevant text from an excellent piece on SCOTUS Blog: https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/10/this-weeks-relists-preemption-of-consumer-protection-laws-bankruptcy-claims-covid-mandates-and-chevron-deference-again/
