Summary

The Fund must make rules within 180 days after the Administrator is appointed and qualified. The rules must cover community development financial institutions that are not insured depository institutions. They must stop conflicts of interest by directors, officers, and employees and set standards and limits for loans to those insiders. For insured community development financial institutions, these rules, the subchapter, and any agreements are enforced under section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act by the appropriate federal banking agency. Breaking them is treated as a violation of that Act.
