The Central Florida Compliance Association (CFCA) will host Rebecca Escario, CAMS, on October 23, 2026 for a webinar titled, “CRA at a Crossroads: Understanding the New Rulemaking and Strategic Plan Proposals.”
The OCC and FDIC’s 2026 proposed rulemaking to update the Community Reinvestment Act would retain much of the existing CRA framework while introducing targeted changes intended to sharpen the focus on lending, revise bank asset thresholds, clarify community development eligibility, and reduce burden—particularly for community banks.
This webinar will examine the most significant changes under consideration, how they could affect CRA examinations and compliance programs, and the potential path and timing toward implementation. Rebecca will also explore the OCC’s proposed simplified strategic plan process and the broader effort to make CRA strategic plans a more practical and accessible alternative for community banks. Attendees will gain insight into how the proposals intersect, which institutions may benefit most, and the strategic opportunities and risks involved.
