The future of Section 1071: A legal panel discussion at AACFB
On April 11 at the 2025 AACFB Annual Conference in Las Vegas, Tamarack’s Daniel Nelson will join a legal panel discussion on Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Since its issuance in March 2023, Section 1071 has sparked ongoing debate regarding its impact on institutions within the equipment finance industry. Now with the Trump administration’s decision to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the future of Section 1071 remains uncertain. This panel will provide updates on its current status and address key legal questions surrounding compliance and regulatory challenges.
