Where it stands
Homeowners in several states may soon see changes to their mortgage escrow interest payments. This move has prompted a legal challenge from Democratic attorneys general. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued new rules that pre-empt state laws governing how banks handle interest on homeowners' escrow accounts.
The OCC's move has prompted a legal challenge from Democratic attorneys general in several states. According to Law360, the OCC's new rules allow banks to retain interest from escrow accounts, which states argue is a handout to big banks. OregonLive.com states that Oregon has also joined the lawsuit.
The Hill notes that the lawsuit is part of a broader effort by Democratic attorneys general to challenge the Trump administration's policies. The open question is whether the courts will uphold the OCC's new rules or side with the states in their legal challenge.
