Legislative Summary

Financial institutions and consumer credit. Provides that a reference to federal law in: (1) the first lien mortgage lending act; (2) the Uniform Consumer Credit Code; or (3) the Indiana Code title governing financial institutions; is a reference to the law as in effect December 31, 2023 (rather than December 31, 2022, under current law). Amends Indiana Code provisions concerning accounting practices for credit unions to reflect a new accounting standard that replaces the allowance for loan and lease losses accounting methodology with the allowance for credit losses methodology, as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Establishes a new chapter in the Indiana Code article containing general provisions with respect to financial institutions to require corporations (defined as certain financial institutions organized or reorganized under Indiana law) to notify the director of the department of financial institutions of a reportable cyber incident or notification incident in accordance with the same procedures required by the corporation's federal supervisory authority or federal insurer.
