SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) It is necessary to increase homeownership and small 
        business ownership for low- and moderate-income borrowers and 
        persons of color. It also is necessary to close the wealth gap 
        in the United States and to increase access to insurance and 
        securities products.
            (2) The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 has been 
        effective in increasing access to credit and capital because it 
        imposes an affirmative and continual obligation on banks and 
        thrifts to meet the needs of the local communities in which 
        they are chartered.
            (3) The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 has leveraged 
        more than $4,000,000,000,000 in loans and investments for low- 
        and moderate-income communities according to the National 
        Community Reinvestment Coalition.
            (4) Major studies, including those conducted by the 
        Secretary of the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the 
        Federal Reserve System, and Harvard University, have found that 
        the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 increases home mortgage 
        lending to minority and low- and moderate-income communities 
        and that this lending is profitable.
            (5) The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 has leveraged a 
        tremendous increase in home mortgage lending to minority and 
        low- and moderate-income borrowers as compared to whites and 
        middle-income borrowers; from 1993 through 2002, home mortgage 
        lending has increased by 79.5 percent to Blacks, by 185.8 
        percent to Hispanics, by 29.6 percent to whites, by 90.6 
        percent to low- and moderate-income borrowers, and by 51.4 
        percent to middle-income borrowers.
            (6) While the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 has been 
        effective, significant wealth disparities remain; in the fourth 
        quarter of 2004, the white homeownership rate was 76.2 percent 
        while the African-American and Hispanic homeownership rates 
        were 49.1 percent and 48.9 percent, respectively.
            (7) In 2002, the median net worth for Hispanic and African-
        American households was $7,932 and $5,988 respectively, while, 
        in sharp contrast, the median net worth for White households 
        was $88,651.
            (8) Research conducted by the chief economist of the 
        National Association of Insurance Commissioners found that 
        after controlling for risk of loss, a 10 percentage point 
        increase in the number of minorities in a zip code is 
        associated with a 2 percentage point increase in the number of 
        `FAIR plans', which are government-sponsored insurance plans of 
        last resort for those who cannot obtain insurance in the 
        private market.
            (9) In order to increase access to credit, wealth and 
        insurance, it is necessary to modernize the Community 
        Reinvestment Act of 1977 to reflect shifting trends in the 
        financial services industry since, currently, only about 40 
        percent of the assets in the financial industry reside in bank 
        and thrifts and are covered by the Community Reinvestment Act 
        of 1977, which is down from about 60 percent in the early 
        1980s.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To enhance the availability of financial services to 
        citizens of all economic circumstances and in all geographic 
        areas.
            (2) To enhance the ability of financial institutions to 
        meet the capital and credit needs of all citizens and 
        communities, including underserved communities and populations.
            (3) To ensure that community reinvestment keeps pace with 
        the affiliation of banks, securities firms, and other financial 
        service providers, as provided by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

                    (C) Treatment of credit practices with negative 
                impacts.--
                            (i) In general.--In the case of any 
                        mortgage bank which the Secretary determines 
                        has engaged in credit practices which have a 
                        negative impact on any individuals or any 
                        assessment area of the company, such as 
                        prescreening or predatory mortgage lending, or 
                        has otherwise engaged in any practice or 
                        provided any service in a manner which 
                        unlawfully discriminates against any person or 
                        against minority or low- and moderate-income 
                        neighborhoods, the Secretary--
                                    (I) may not take any such practice 
                                into account in assessing the extent to 
                                which such company has met its 
                                obligation under subsection (a); and
                                    (II) shall reduce the rating that 
                                would otherwise obtain under 
                                subparagraph (A) with respect to such 
                                company, after considering the extent 
                                of such negative or discriminatory 
                                practice or service.
                            (ii) Unlawful discrimination and predatory 
                        mortgage lending.--For purposes of (i), the 
                        terms ``predatory mortgage lending'' and 
                        ``unlawfully discriminates'' include any 
                        lending or discriminatory practice those that 
                        violates the Fair Housing Act, the Equal Credit 
                        Opportunity Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the

                        Federal Trade Commission Act, or any other 
                        consumer and fair lending law, including the 
                        law of any State or political subdivision of 
                        any State.
                    (D) Maintenance of certain records.--For purposes 
                of determining whether a mortgage bank engages in any 
                practice or service described in subparagraph (B), the 
                Secretary may require, by regulation, mortgage banks to 
                maintain records of the terms and conditions at which 
                mortgage loans and other services were provided by the 
                company and the terms and conditions at which such 
                mortgage loans and other products and services were 
                offered by the bank even though no transaction 
                occurred.
                    (E) Improvement plan.--
                            (i) In general.--Whenever a mortgage bank 
                        receives a rating of ``low satisfactory'' or 
                        lower in any assessment area, the bank shall 
                        submit a improvement plan, subject to public 
                        notice and comment, to the Secretary.
                            (ii) Contents of plan.--Any improvement 
                        plan submitted to the Secretary by a mortgage 
                        bank pursuant to clause (i) shall describe how 
                        the bank intends to improve its performance in 
                        any assessment area where the bank received a 
                        rating of ``low satisfactory'' or lower.
                            (iii) Review of plan.--The Secretary shall 
                        review any improvement submitted under clause 
                        (i) by a mortgage bank and either approve the 
                        plan or send it back to the bank for revisions.
                            (iv) Quarterly reports.--After the 
                        Secretary approves a improvement plan submitted 
                        by a mortgage bank under clause (i), the bank 
                        shall submit reports and data on a quarterly 
                        basis so that the Secretary and the general 
                        public can monitor performance.
                            (v) Additional limitations.--If any 
                        mortgage bank receives a rating of ``Needs-to-
                        improve'' or ``Substantial noncompliance'' in 
                        any assessment area, the Secretary may not 
                        accept or approve any application by such 
                        mortgage bank or any merger applications 
                        involving such bank.
                            (vi) Consideration of performance in 
                        certain reviews.--If any mortgage bank receives 
                        a rating of ``low satisfactory'' rating in any 
                        assessment area, the Secretary shall consider 
                        the progress in meeting the goals described in 
                        the improvement plan as an integral factor in 
                        reviews of any application by such mortgage 
                        bank or any merger applications involving such 
                        bank.
    (d) Consideration of Mortgage Bank's Rating.--
            (1) Review of rating.--At least once in each 2-year period 
        beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
        Secretary shall--
                    (A) conduct an examination of, and assign ratings 
                to, mortgage banks under this subsection;
                    (B) review the overall rating of each mortgage bank 
                under this subsection;
                    (C) provide opportunity for public comment on such 
                rating; and
                    (D) review changes in the community reinvestment 
                performance of such mortgage bank since the last 
                overall rating and the likely future community 
                reinvestment performance of such mortgage bank.
            (2) Notification of unsatisfactory performance.--If, in 
        conjunction with a review pursuant to paragraph (1), the 
        Secretary determines that a mortgage bank has failed to meet 
        the bank's obligations described in subsection (a) and the 
        requirements of the program under this subsection or failed to 
        make satisfactory improvements in meeting such obligations and 
        requirements, the Secretary shall notify the mortgage bank of 
        such determination, describing the conditions giving rise to 
        the notice.
            (3) Agreement to correct conditions required.--Not later 
        than 45 days after the date of receipt by a mortgage bank of a 
        notice given under paragraph (2) (or such additional period as 
        the Secretary may permit), the mortgage bank shall execute an 
        agreement, based on an improvement plan, with the Secretary to 
        comply with the obligations and requirements applicable to the 
        mortgage bank under this section.
            (4) Secretary may impose limitations.--Until the conditions 
        described in a notice to a mortgage bank under paragraph (2) 
        are corrected, the Secretary may impose such limitations on the 
        extent to which mortgage loans originated, held, or serviced by 
        such mortgage bank may be acquired by the Federal Home Mortgage 
        Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or the 
        Government National Mortgage Association, as the Secretary 
        determines to be appropriate under the circumstances and 
        consistent with the purposes of this section.
            (5) Failure to correct.--If the conditions described in a 
        notice to a mortgage bank under paragraph (2) are not corrected 
        within 180 days after the date of receipt by the mortgage bank 
        of a notice under paragraph (2), the Secretary shall prohibit 
        the Federal Home Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National 
        Mortgage Association, or the Government National Mortgage 
        Association from acquiring any mortgage loan originated, held, 
        or serviced by such mortgage bank.
            (6) Consultation.--In taking any action under this 
        subsection, the Secretary shall consult with all relevant 
        Federal and State regulatory agencies and authorities.

                        how the institution intends to improve its 
                        performance in any assessment area where the

                        company shall submit reports and data on a 
                        quarterly basis so that the Secretary and the

                        integral factor in reviews of any application 
                        by such insurance company or any merger

        meet the company's obligations described in subsection (a) and 
        the requirements of the program under this subsection or failed 
        to make satisfactory improvements in meeting such obligations 
        and requirements, the Secretary shall notify the insurance 
        company and each appropriate State insurance regulator of such 
        determination, describing the conditions giving rise to the 
        notice.

        than 45 days after the date of receipt by an insurance company

        insured by such insurance company may be acquired by the 
        Federal Home Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National 
        Mortgage Association, or the Government National Mortgage

SEC. 210. DESIGNATIONS.

    (a) Designation of Lines of Insurance.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall, by regulation, 
        designate lines of insurance as designated lines for purposes 
        of this title, as follows:
                    (A) Automobile.--The Secretary shall designate 
                private passenger automobile insurance and shall also 
                designate any sublines and coverage types of private 
                passenger automobile insurance that the Secretary 
                considers appropriate to determine and compare the 
                availability, affordability, and type of coverage in 
                such line among applicable regions.
                    (B) Noncommercial insurance for residential 
                property.--The Secretary shall designate homeowners 
                insurance and dwelling fire and allied lines, and shall 
                distinguish the coverage types in such lines by the

                purposes of this title, homeowners insurance shall not 
                include any renters coverage or coverage for the

            (2) Report.--At any time the Secretary determines that any 
        line of insurance not described in paragraph (1) should be a 
        designated line because disparities in coverage provided under 
        such line exist among geographic areas having different income 
        levels or racial composition, the Secretary shall submit a 
        report recommending designating such line of insurance as a 
        designated line for purposes of this title to the Committee on 
        Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the House of 
        Representatives and the appropriate Committees of the Senate.

                each line and subline or coverage type designated under 
                such regulations shall be designated for each of the 
                first 5 successive annual reporting periods occurring 
                after issuance of the regulations.

                effect, the Secretary may amend or revise the 
                designated lines, sublines, and coverage types only by 
                regulation and only in accordance with the requirements 
                of this subsection. Such regulations amending or 
                revising designations shall apply only to annual 
                reporting periods beginning after the expiration of the 
                6-month period beginning on the date of issuance of the 
                regulations.
    (b) Timing of Designations.--The Secretary shall make the 
designations required by subsection (a)(3)(A) and notify interested 
parties during the 6-month period ending 6 months before the 
commencement of the first annual reporting period to which such

submit to the Secretary such information as the Secretary considers 
necessary to make designations specifically required under this title. 
The Secretary may not require insurers to submit any information under 
this subsection that relates to any line of insurance not specifically 
authorized to be designated pursuant to this title or that is to be 
used solely for the purpose of a report under subsection (a)(2).
