UPOAA
Michigan's Uniform Power of Attorney Act (UPOAA) - Effective Date July 1
In the ever-evolving landscape of legal frameworks, Michigan holds a prominent position, thanks to its groundbreaking Uniform Power of Attorney Act (UPOAA) — a legislative milestone that significantly transforms the dynamics of decision-making authority. On November 7, 2023, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed into law Michigan’s Public Act 187 of 2023, which enacted the UPOAA (effective date July 1, 2024). Seeking to safeguard bankers' interests, MBA Bank Counsel Committee engaged in multiple meetings with David Sprague, Senior Vice President of Regional Trust Management at Old National Bank, and Christine Savage, from Lowe Law Firm, representing the Probate Section Subcommittee on UPOAA. The Michigan Bankers Association played a crucial role as an important stakeholder in ensuring that the legislation was crafted and passed in a manner that did not adversely affect financial institutions.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
FinCEN Underestimates Compliance Burden of BOI Collection
ABA urged the Office of Management and Budget to condition renewal of a form that facilitates beneficial ownership information collection on the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network first increasing its estimated compliance burden on banks. ABA also wants FinCEN to further engage with the association, which has raised concerns about the estimate used.
FinCEN is seeking to renew without change four separate information collections, including BOI requirements for legal entity customers, as required by Appendix A of the customer due diligence rule, or CDD. Federal agencies are required to regularly review the burden of their regulations on businesses under the Paperwork Reduction Act, or PRA, and seek the OMB’s approval for renewing those regulations. Read the letter.
