About ACA Washington Insights

ACA International’s advocacy team hosts Washington Insights with an exciting lineup of congressional and industry expert speakers. The event is hosted in Washington, D.C., and features Capitol Hill visits for meetings with legislators and group roundtable discussions.

Past Washington Insights Experiences

In 2024, ACA and its members met in Washington to advocate on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulatory processes, including the proposed rule to remove medical bills from credit reports and update definitions of credit reporting agencies and data brokers in the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the impacts of the decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the CFPB’s funding structure; and to seek clarity on the bureau’s UDAAP enforcement actions and authority, recently covered in legislation sponsored by U.S. Rep. Andy Barr.

Additional issues raised at the event included a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Labor on overtime salary thresholds, the ongoing call blocking and labeling rules from the Federal Communications Commission following the TRACED Act, and proposals on text blocking.

The lineup of congressional speakers included:

  • U.S. Rep. John Rose, R-Tenn.
  • U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, R Texas.
  • U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif.
