Overnight Delivery Program
CBA has been presented with a unique opportunity to support our new Governor-elect Brian Kemp. CBA has met with the Governor-elect’s transition team to discuss how the Governor-elect’s goals/missions align with those of CBA in many ways. Brian Kemp was an organizer in a community bank and remains a shareholder of a community bank, so he certainly understands what issues our bankers face and how important community banking is to the overall economy in Georgia. The Governor-elect’s team has asked CBA to be a part of the Georgians First Committee.
CBA is asking for your support! With 33 new House of Representative members (and 3 open seats) and 5 new Senate members along with a new Governor and Lt. Governor, collectively we CAN make a difference. Now is the time to let our elected officials know that we support them. Please fill out the sponsorship form that can be completed for your donation. (Click here for the committee W-9.) We ask that all checks be mailed to CBA of GA ATTN: Lori Godfrey by no later than December 31, 2018 so that we can collectively deliver our support to Kemp’s transition team personally. (Please note “CBA of GA” in the memo line of the check.) If you choose to make a donation online by credit card, please note “CBA of GA” in the Organization name, then forward a copy of your receipt to lori@cbaofga.com so that we may include it with our donations. All supporters of Georgians First Committee will receive four (4) tickets to the Swearing-In Ceremony as well as four (4) tickets to the Inaugural Gala on Monday, January 14, 2019. CBA will be active participants in the inauguration of Governor Kemp and we are proud to carry this banner.

Gov.-Elect Kemp Highlights Rural Communities
Before the 31st Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators at the University of Georgia, Brian Kemp promised to work for small businesses and to lift the economy of the rural areas of the state.
"As a small business guy, I know the impact that taxes, regulation and government red tape can have on investment, expansion and hiring,” he said. “That's why on Day One, I will create the Georgians First committee, led by business leaders, not bureaucrats, to identify things that frustrate our small business owners." Kemp says he aims to bring prosperity beyond bigger cities in Georgia and into rural areas. Read more.

Advocacy FIRST: Big Banks Feel Unloved in Trump's Washington
The nation's biggest banks are struggling to win over policymakers even in the business-friendly Trump era. One clear symptom: the landmark, bipartisan bank deregulation legislation that became law in May contained relatively few victories for the global banks, with lawmakers repeatedly emphasizing instead the benefits for small “community banks” linked to Main Street. Most lawmakers from either party didn’t want to be seen as helping the likes of Wells Fargo, which has been racked by a string of scandals involving consumer abuses. Read the full article.

Georgia Lawmakers Back Farm Bill, But See Missed Opportunity
Most Georgia lawmakers on Capitol Hill endorsed a sprawling farm policy bill last Wednesday that dodged a fierce debate over food stamps that had previously divided the state’s delegation, agriculture officials and anti-hunger players. Local farm and commodity groups, as well as the head of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, cheered the passage of the $867 billion farm bill, which would set federal nutrition, rural development and agriculture policy guidelines for the next five years.
The bill’s price tag angered conservative and fiscal responsibility groups that said lawmakers passed up a prime opportunity to overhaul the government’s pricey crop subsidy and anti-poverty programs. Three Georgia Republicans ultimately voted against the legislation. The legislation now heads to the White House. President Donald Trump has signaled he’ll sign the measure after senior members of his administration, most prominently Agriculture chief and former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, pushed for its adoption. Read more.

FDIC Pitches Brokered Deposit Update, Other Reg Reforms
The FDIC board on Tuesday approved nearly a dozen policy changes, proposals and requests for industry comment. Among the 11 different items was an advance notice of proposed rulemaking asking for input on possible changes to the FDIC's brokered deposits rules. The agency also finalized a rule implementing new accounting standards for projecting future losses, issued a proposal to exempt small banks from the Volcker Rule as mandated by Congress, provided an update on the Deposit Insurance Fund and approved its 2019 budget.

What Major Change in Lease Accounting Means for Banks
Banks are bracing for the impact — on two fronts — of a new federal rule that will change how companies account for the cost of leasing everything from equipment to automobiles to space in office buildings or shopping centers.
Under the new rule, which takes effect for public firms on January 1st and for private firms a year later, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) will require companies to record operating leases as both liabilities and assets on their balance sheets. As it stands, these costs are kept off the balance sheet, leaving investors with an incomplete picture of a company’s financial obligations, according to FASB. Read more in American Banker.

CBA of Georgia Endorses Holtmeyer & Monson
The Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA) announced its endorsement of Holtmeyer & Monson for SBA Lending services. The endorsement comes after a review of Holtmeyer & Monson by both CBA’s Member Services Committee and the CBA Board of Directors. Holtmeyer & Monson, which is also a Preferred Service Provider of the Independent Community Bankers Association of America (ICBA), helps banks expertly navigate SBA and USDA lending requirements to capture new revenue opportunities and cultivate stronger community relationships.
There’s never been a better time for community banks to offer government-guaranteed loans as part of their portfolios. Last year, $6 billion in small business loans were made by online lenders, including non-bank entities. By participating in SBA and USDA lending, banks can provide small businesses with much-needed capital that benefits their communities, while also deepening their roots on Main Street.
“As the only Georgia trade association that exclusively represents community banks, we take pride in finding vendor products and services that offer significant value to our members,” stated John McNair, President and CEO of Community Bankers Association of Georgia. “Holtmeyer & Monson has a proven track record of helping hundreds of banks extend capital to under-served borrowers in their markets and garner new sources of non-fee income. Equally important, Holtmeyer & Monson has a stellar reputation for adhering to strict business ethics.” Read the press release.

Democratic Lawmakers Join Chorus of CECL Critics
A controversial accounting standard is facing strong resistance in the House Financial Services Committee that will likely intensify when Democrats gain control of the panel. At a hearing of the committee’s Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee, the Current Expected Credit Losses standard, or CECL, was the target of sharp criticism by lawmakers from both parties, including prominent Democrats Brad Sherman and Gregory Meeks.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized CECL, which would require financial institutions to record a loan's projected lifetime credit loss on the day it is originated, in June 2016. The standard has faced a steady drumbeat of criticism ever since. Sherman, who has represented a district in Los Angeles County since 1997, claimed CECL would handicap small businesses seeking credit. Read more in American Banker.
