Illinois courts

An Illinois court has ruled that the Illinois Interest Act's preemption applies to federal credit unions, extending earlier preemption reasoning under the IFPA to those institutions. The decision clarifies that state law limits on interest and fees do not apply to federally chartered credit unions operating in Illinois, a point of significance for lenders and consumer finance compliance in the state.

Congresswomen from Illinois have issued responses to a recent Supreme Court ruling, voicing their positions on the decision. Their statements were reported by local media, though the specific ruling and details of their reactions were not disclosed in available coverage.
