Plain-English Summary

Congress would reject a banking regulation that allows national banks to ignore state laws requiring them to pay interest on customer escrow accounts (money held temporarily for things like property taxes or insurance). The rule, created by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, would let federal banking rules override stricter state protections for customers' money. This would affect bank customers in states with interest-on-escrow laws, potentially costing them money they would otherwise earn on funds held in escrow.
