Discrimination Based on Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation

All registrations to Compliance Resource webinars include five live connections AND the recording of the webinar (guaranteed for one year).

WHAT?

On March 9, 2021 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published an interpretative rule entitled Equal Credit Opportunity (Regulation B); Discrimination on the Bases of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. The interpretative rule:

• Clarifies that, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, the prohibition against sex discrimination in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Regulation B encompasses sexual orientation discrimination and gender identity discrimination, including discrimination based on actual or perceived nonconformity with sex-based or gender-based stereotypes and discrimination based on an applicant’s associations.
• Will be effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

WHY?

This two-hour program provides the information needed to fully implement the provisions of the interpretative rule as soon as reasonably possible.

Program participants receive a detailed manual that provides a thorough explanation of the interpretative rule.
