Has the CFPB issued a final rule regarding minority- and women-owned small business data collection?

No, the CFPB’s rule that will require financial institutions to collect and report information on small business loan applicants — with a particular focus on applications and loans related to minority- and women-owned firms — has not yet been finalized. The CFPB released a request for information earlier this year, but the rule currently remains in the “pre-rule” stage.
