Federal Advocacy
NBA meets virtually and in DC for visits with Nevada's Senate and House delegates.
State of Nevada
NBA works with state legislators during session years and with interim committees in off years. In additional to supporting efforts to promote financial literacy, affordable housing and economic development, we work to ensure Nevada is an environment where banks can provide the best products and services to customers.
Thank you to our GR Committee members for all of your work during session. NBA will be working closely with interim Nevada's legislative committees throughout the second half of 2023 and during 2024.

Regulatory
Nevada Bankers engage with State and federal regulators regularly. Member feedback is a critical piece of helping regulators with their job of providing effective, safe and meaningful oversight. In addition lt irregular meetings with our State FID, NBA works closely with federal regulataors and also offers members a chance to engage in person during the Fall DC visit.

Compliance Alliance Question of the Week
Q: Does the newly released National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Installment Payment Plan Final Rule apply to the force-placement of flood insurance?
A:
Unfortunately, 89 FR 87299 – the Final Rule that was released on November 1st 2024 (and that will be effective as of December 31st, 2024), which permits NFIP policyholders to pay their annual flood insurance premiums in monthly installments (in certain situations) – does not specifically address nor explicitly make changes to the current federal force-placement of flood insurance rules.
However, under a conservative interpretation: because the scope of the Final Rule is limited to residential and non-residential SFIP policyholders – and in a force-place scenario, the policyholder is seemingly the lender, rather than the borrower [see: “Policyholder Information” in the April 2024 NFIP Flood Insurance Manual] – it would appear that this rule and its guidance may likely exclude force-placement situations.
