Exam fairness — Generate support for IBA- and ABA-advocated exam fairness bills (S. 727 and H.R. 1553) that address widespread concerns about bank examinations.

Municipal advisors — Urge our senators to support a bipartisan, IBA and ABA-advocated bill (S. 710) that exempt banks from overreaching municipal advisor registration requirements.
