Home Mortgage Disclosure Renewal and Amendments Act of 1980
Latest action. Referred to Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
Home Mortgage Disclosure Renewal and Amendments Act of 1980 - Amends the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 to require certain depository institutions to disclose, each calendar year beginning in 1980, by neighborhood, the number and dollar amount of mortgage and home improvement loans made and purchased. Specifies that any depository institution which is required to make such disclosures but which has been making disclosures on some basis other than a calendar year basis shall make available a separate disclosure statement containing data for any period prior to calendar year 1980 which is not covered by the last full year report prior to the 1980 calendar year report. Requires the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to prescribe a standard format for such disclosures. Requires the Board, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Administration Board, in consultation with the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, to implement a system to facilitate access to data required to be disclosed. Requires such systems to include arrangements for a central depository of data in each standard metropolitan statistical area. Specifies that disclosure statements shall be made available to the public for inspection and copying at such central depository. Repeals the provision of such Act which terminates its authority four years after its effective date. Requires the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council to compile each year, beginning with data for calendar year 1980, for each standard metropolitan statistical area, aggregate data by census tract ( or zip code where applicable) for all depository institutions which are required to disclose data. Requires the Council to produce tables indicating, for each standard metropolitan statistical area, and for the United States as a whole, aggregate lending patterns for various categories of census tracts grouped according to location, age of housing stock, income level, and racial characteristics. Requires such data and tables to be made available to the public by no later than December 31 of the year following the calendar year on which the data is based.
Written by analysts at the Congressional Research Service and published on Congress.gov, not by Civibrief. Summarized at the "Introduced in Senate" stage on February 18, 1980. It describes the bill, it is not the legal text.
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
4 steps remain before this bill could become law.
The record's latest action, on February 18, 1980: Referred to Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
- Clearing the committees it was referred to, and being scheduled for a floor vote
- Passage by the Senate
- Passage by the House
- The President's signature. If the President vetoes it, two-thirds of both chambers must vote to override.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 96th Congress (1979-80), 613 of the 12,581 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 4.9 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one is not there yet: 4 steps are still outstanding, listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
WILLIAM PROXMIRE (D-WI) introduced it on February 18, 1980. No cosponsors are recorded.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on February 18, 1980, 17006 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 17006 days ago, on February 18, 1980.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 96th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1981 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
