Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra has provided state regulators with a strategic roadmap to uphold the agency's objectives in light of potential reductions in its power. New York and Massachusetts are particularly empowered to pursue actions against mortgage servicers, potentially leading other Democratic states to enact similar legislation. While the CFPB is expected to remain operational, experts predict it may transition to a less aggressive stance. The Dodd-Frank Act enables future administrations to investigate past practices, maintaining a level of oversight in a changing regulatory landscape.
Prior to his firing, CFPB Director Rohit Chopra left state regulators a roadmap to sustain the agency's legacy amidst potential weakening.
States like New York and Massachusetts have the authority to enforce regulations against mortgage servicers even if the CFPB's power diminishes.
The future of the CFPB is uncertain, with discussions suggesting it may not disappear but could become significantly less aggressive under new leadership.
Dodd-Frank provisions allow any future administration to review past servicing practices, keeping the CFPB relevant despite potential structural weakening.
