IRS Bank Reporting Proposal —
​Statements from ICBA and CBA of Georgia

Last week, Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey issued the following statement on today’s budget reconciliation framework. “ICBA and the nation’s community banks applaud the exclusion of the widely opposed IRS bank reporting proposal from today’s budget reconciliation framework. We will continue to vocally oppose the policy as negotiations proceed.
​
“The omission of the IRS plan from the Biden administration budget proposal is evidence of the impact community banks and consumers nationwide are having on the debate via ICBA’s months-long #KeepMyBankingPrivate campaign. Keeping the IRS plan out of the reconciliation package will avoid privacy, due process, and data security concerns that have prompted hundreds of thousands of consumer messages to policymakers in opposition. ICBA will continue working with policymakers to ensure this widely opposed policy is fully and completely withdrawn.”

John McNair, President & CEO, Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA), commented, “I applaud all of Georgia’s community bankers for working the grass roots on this important issue with employees and customers alike. Grass roots advocacy works, and it is more vital than ever before for community bankers to take a leading role in their respective communities on these and other important issues. THANK YOU! “
