Why It Matters
The California Credit Union League filed its second quarter lobbying disclosure July 30, reporting $110,000 in lobbying expenses. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) has been advancing deregulation efforts, including an interim final rule effective June 30, clarifying that state laws regulating federal credit union interchange fees are preempted by federal law. Meanwhile, broader credit union advocacy has focused on securing a single federal data privacy and security standard that would preempt state-level laws.
By the Numbers
The California Credit Union League reported $110,000 in lobbying activity for the second quarter of 2026, continuing a series of identical lobbying expenses for the first quarter of 2026, the fourth quarter of 2025, and the third quarter of 2025. Stephanie Cuevas is the organization's sole registered lobbyist, serving as Senior Vice President of Federal Government Affairs.
Broader Context
The organization's second quarter filing did not specify particular legislative issues, a departure from previous quarters when it tracked numerous bills and regulatory matters. In the first quarter of 2026, the California Credit Union League lobbied on preserving credit union tax exemption, the Expanding Access to Lending Options Act, the SCAM Act, budget reconciliation, and preserving the NCUA insurance fund.
