Press Release of the Week [1 of 2]: Rep. Loudermilk Introduces Bill to Provide Regulatory Relief to Charities and Non-Profits
|
|
|
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) today issued the following statement after introducing H.R. 5953, the Building Up Independent Lives and Dreams (BUILD) Act.
“Community banks and credit unions are not the only ones feeling the regulatory burden brought on by the Dodd-Frank Act; some charities and non-profits are affected too. For example, in Georgia, Habitat for Humanity has experienced challenges with some mortgage disclosure regulations under Dodd-Frank.
“My bill aims to cut some of the red-tape and alleviate unnecessary burdens brought on by Dodd-Frank regulations. This legislation will allow non-profits, such as Habitat for Humanity, to choose to be exempt from the overly complicated mortgage disclosure requirements of Dodd-Frank, and replace them with a more simplified system.
“Habitat for Humanity, and others, want to devote their time to their mission, not sit in an office and jump through regulatory hoops. This strongly bipartisan bill will help get those volunteers out of the office and back to rebuilding lives, communities, and dreams.”

In the News: Federal civil service abuses bigger than just the VA
|
|
|
From the Daily Torch:
When news broke of employees at the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) putting the lives of veterans at risk with waiting lists to die, the country was outraged. When it became clear that these employees were not being terminated for their failures and mismanagement, Florida Senator Marco Rubio led bipartisan legislation that protected whistleblowers and provided management the authority to remove bad employees. Unfortunately, the VA is not the only department allowing bad employees to stay on the job despite grotesque violations of employee guidelines and even the law. Here we highlight some of the worst stories of civil service abuse in recent years and how they have been allowed to occur.
