The Manufactured Housing Institute will host a webinar on the Dodd/Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act December 9th at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted into law on July 21, 2010. The law is considered the most significant rewrite of rules governing banking and financial services in decades and will impact every financial institution and credit instrument in the nation. At its Annual Meeting in September, MHI appointed a task force charged with identifying areas of the law problematic for the industry. In mid November, 20 members of MHI’s Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Taskforce convened in Dallas, Texas to identify and prioritize provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that if unchanged, will significantly burden manufactured home purchasers by adding to the cost of acquiring a loan or restrict access to/availability of financing. The task force identified several regulatory and legislative remedies MHI must undertake to amend these provisions. MHI will be introducing legislation with the new 112th Congress to address industry needs. This issue will be the centerpiece of MHI legislative activities next year. The webinar will aid in assisting industry members on how to begin to communicate with Congress on this complex issue. Please join in. The webinar is free but registration is required.
