Note that CUNA was backing this bill:
Votes from the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday will help make consumer data safer, said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. The committee passed two bills that have strong CUNA support, the Data Security Act of 2015 (H.R. 2205) and the National Credit Union Administration Budget Transparency Act (H.R. 2287) during its markup.
H.R. 2205 passed the committee with a 46-9 vote and H.R. 2287 passed with a 40-16 vote.
