Congressional leaders addressing attendees at this week’s 2026 ICBA Capital Summit spotlighted their efforts to advance legislation providing community bank regulatory relief and taking on fraud and scams.

Highlights:

• House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill (R-Ark.) said he is working to advance community bank regulatory relief via the Main Street Capital Access Act (H.R. 6955) and the community banking provisions of the House-passed 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (H.R. 6644).

• House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairman Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) said community banks are the champions of fighting fraud, citing ICBA-backed legislation he is co-sponsoring to combat predatory online scam advertisements.
