Critical Issues You’ll Hear About:
Come join ACA and its members in advocating on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulatory processes, including the pending proposed rule to remove medical bills from credit reports and update definitions of credit reporting agencies and data brokers in the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the possible impacts of the decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the CFPB’s funding structure expected in late spring or early summer; and seeking clarity on the bureau’s UDAAP enforcement actions and authority, recently covered in legislation sponsored by U.S. Rep. Andy Barr.
Additional issues slated for discussion at the event include ongoing call blocking and labeling rules from the Federal Communications Commission following the TRACED Act, and new proposals on text blocking. ACA will highlight continued advocacy to ensure that unfair and unscrupulous blocking does not impact legitimate calls and texts.
Update: The Fly-In will feature a lunch panel discussion with the American Association of Healthcare Administration Management and ACA on “Issues Affecting the Provider Community and Their Agencies” on April 30.
