Georgia community bankers gathered in Washington, D.C. last week with nearly 1,000 other community bankers and industry advocates from across the nation for the Independent Community Bankers of America® (ICBA) annual Capital Summit.
The CBA delegation met with senior aides from the offices of Senators Isakson and Perdue, along with 12 members (or the senior aides) of Georgia’s U.S. Representatives to discuss issues that impact community banks, our local economies and the customers we serve.
Community bankers made specific recommendations on key issues in meetings with members of Congress, including:

Community bankers made specific recommendations on key issues in meetings with members of Congress, including:
- To ensure that regulation is tiered and proportionate to the smaller size, lower risk profile, and traditional business model of community banks to support the flow of credit to consumers and small businesses. The Financial CHOICE Act of 2014 has many good points, and would be a great start in repealing unnecessary regulatory burden for community bankers.
- To consider tax reform that would provide a significant rate relief for individuals, corporations, and pass-through businesses. The tax reform should not increase the cost of credit for small businesses by limiting deductibility of business interest.
- To limit expanded powers for credit unions. The NCUA’s actions are unreasonably expanding credit union powers. New powers are at odds with tax exemption based on serving people of modest means through a mutual ownership structure.
- To consider a new Farm Bill that supports commodity prices, enhances USDA guaranteed-loan programs, and preserves crop-insurance funding. The Farm Credit System lenders should return to its primary mission of serving bona-fide farmers/ranchers.
Attendees from Georgia included Dan Brannan, Partner, James-Bates-Brannan-Groover, LLP, Macon; David Coxon, President/CEO, Georgia Primary Bank, Atlanta; Charles Curry, President/CEO, First State Bank of Randolph County, Cuthbert; Clark Hungerford, EVP, Vinings Bank, Smyrna; Lisa Lane, EVP, James-Bates-Brannan-Groover, LLP, Macon; Stephen Lewis, Senior Lender, First National Bank of Coffee County, Douglas; David Moore, Vice President, ICBA, Southeast Regional Office, Atlanta; Dan Oliver, Chairman of the Board/CEO, Vinings Bank, Smyrna; Brad Serff, President/CEO, Providence Bank, Alpharetta; Danny Schulman, Director, Vinings Bank, Smyrna; Bran Thompson, CEO, South Georgia Bank, Glennville; Derek Williams, President/CEO, Century Bank & Trust, Milledgeville; and Rob Braswell, President/CEO and Lori Godfrey, Director of Legislative/Regulatory Affairs, both with Community Bankers Association of Georgia, Atlanta.
In addition to meeting with their policymakers, community bankers heard remarks from Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Jeb Hensarling (R-Tex) and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. CBA is excited that we had two bankers--Bran Thompson and Derek Williams—represent community banks from Georgia during a meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn.

Governor Deal Signs Uniform Power of Attorney & Business Judgement Rule Bills
Governor Deal Signing HB 221 on Monday
HB 221—Powers of Attorney, by Rep. Chuck Efstration (R), Dacula, was signed by Governor Nathan Deal on May 8, 2017. This bill updates and conforms provisions relating to powers of attorney to a uniform Act. The bill allows protections for individuals who grant power of attorney while giving clarification for responsible caregivers and financial institutions. The bill is important to financial institutions and training on this subject is essential to understanding the intricacies of the new requirements of the Act.
CBA’s General Counsel James-Bates-Brannan-Groover-LLP will be providing member banks a complimentary lunch and learn on the new uniform power of attorney act on Tuesday, June 6th in Atlanta or Wednesday, June 7th in Macon. Click here for more details. If you have questions or want further information, please contact John W. Sillay at (478) 749-9923 or jsillay@jamesbatesllp.com.
HB 192—Business Judgment Rule/Director Liability, by Rep. Beth Beskin (R), Atlanta, was signed by Governor Nathan Deal on May 9, 2017. This Act shall apply only to causes of action arising on or after July 1, 2017. This bill would change provisions relating to the responsibilities and standard of care of directors and officers of banks, trust companies, and corporations. The bill is in response to the case of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation v. Loudermilk, et. al., 295 GA. 579 (2014). Not only is this a win for banks, but this is a win for all Georgia corporations.

Committee Passes Financial CHOICE Act
The House Financial Services Committee passed Chairman Jeb Hensarling’s (R-Texas) Financial CHOICE Act of 2017 (H.R. 10). The regulatory relief bill passed on a 34-26 vote.
In a national news release, ICBA President and CEO Cam Fine thanked the panel for advancing the legislation, which includes many provisions in ICBA’s pro-growth Plan for Prosperity regulatory relief platform. Provisions would reform burdensome and costly mortgage-lending requirements, provide relief from excessive and unnecessary call report and data-collection mandates, and repeal Durbin Amendment price controls on debit card interchange.

Georgia Banks Becoming More Diverse
While Georgia’s minority-owned banks initially took flight to serve the African American community, the need to serve other demographics has evolved as Georgia’s ethnic populations continue to shift and banking needs change. Though Georgia’s MDIs are rooted in serving the African American communities, six of the seven minority banks that have been chartered in Georgia over the past 22 years, in addition to a recently withdrawn application, have been designated as either controlled by or serving the Asian market.
Community Bankers Association of Georgia President and CEO Rob Braswell said the growth in the number of minority banks in Georgia reflects the changing demographics of metro Atlanta.
“As an example, Gwinnett County has a large and dynamic population of residents that are of Asian heritage; therefore, many of the minority banks that have been created over the past 20 years are located in or near Gwinnett County to serve the needs of those various communities and their businesses.” he said.

Banks Tighten CRE Standards in Q1
Banks reported tighter standards on commercial real estate loans during the first quarter, according to the Federal Reserve’s latest senior loan officer survey. Banks cited a less favorable outlook for CRE property prices, capitalization rates, and vacancy rates as their most important factors in tightening CRE credit over the past year. Banks left their standards on commercial and industrial loans largely unchanged, while some reported weaker demand for C&I loans.

CBA Hosts 2nd Quarter Banker Regulatory Forum in Atlanta
The CBA hosted its 2nd Quarter Banker Regulatory Forum, focused on Safety & Soundness, on Thursday, May 4, at its Headquarters in Atlanta. Bank members and endorsed/associate members gathered for the interactive forum. The revised format covers regulatory hot topics first, which allows for more discussion among the group throughout, and the new format has been well-received by members and the agencies. Topics discussed last week included cyber security, commercial real estate concentrations, BSA, interest rate risk, loan participations and legal lending limit. The most discussed topic during the forum, however, was liquidity.
Agency personnel changes were also discussed. On May 2, 2017, the OCC’s new Southern District Deputy Comptroller was announced. Troy Thornton replaces Gil Barker. You may read more here. Just one day later, the OCC announced Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry will step down on May 5th (Curry’s five-year term was completed on April 9th). Keith Noreika, an attorney, has been named Acting Comptroller by the Trump Administration. You may read more from here. This comes just two months after the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta named President and CEO Dennis Lockhart’s successor, Raphael Bostic. You may read more here.
Following lunch with the regulators, the bankers’ only roundtable included an update from CBA’s Director of Legislative & Regulatory Affairs Lori Godfrey on the successful Legislative Session, Capital Policy Summit in Washington, DC, and a few banking-related legal items.
CBA’s next Banker Regulatory Forum will be held on Thursday, August 3, 2017, at Idle Hour Country Club in Macon. The focus will be on Safety & Soundness. Click here to learn more and to register today!
