Over the years, OCC's preemptive authority has been challenged in the courts. (1) \n The new regulations have been criticized by state bank regulators, mortgage bankers, and consumer\ngroups as exceeding OCC's authority, upsetting the delicate balance of the dual banking system, and\nundermining states' ability to enact and enforce consumer protection and anti-predatory lending\nlaws. Although legislation was introduced in the 108th Congress to overturn the regulations, it was\nnot acted upon. This report will be updated as warranted by Congressional activity.\n 1. \u00a0 CRS Report RL32197 , Preemption of State Law\nfor National Banks and Their Subsidiaries by the Office\nof the Comptroller of the Currency, by M.
