Kyle Campbell (Astra Bank at Abilene) shared the negative impacts of losing interchange fee income for the bank’s small businesses and consumer customers during KBA’s visit with Bill Birsic, banking liaison for Sen. Roger Marshall. KBA’s EVP & General Counsel Kathy Taylor and former KBA Chairman Jonathon Johnson (Home Savings Bank at Chanute) welcomed Cong. Tracy Mann to the KBA-hosted meet-and-greet and thanked him for his support of numerous KBA and ABA federal legislative initiatives. Cong. Jake LaTurner concurred with KBA concerns on mortgage trigger leads and overreach by the CFPB proposals to modify the UDAAP Rule and impose restrictions on various bank fees. KBA Federal Affairs Committee Member Mark Larrabee thanked Brandon Naylor with Rep. Sharice David's office for recognizing the negative implications on consumers and small businesses from the socalled Credit Card Competition Act, which would impose a new routing mandate on credit card transactions. Cong. Ron Estes was confident Congress would avoid a government shutdown by adopting an omnibus spending bill. Estes also highlighted how the House Ways and Means Committee would soon be considering what portions of the Trump-era tax relief would be extended by Congress. KBA Political Action Committee Chairman Jonathon Johnson (Home Savings Bank — Chanute) and KBA SVP of Government Relations Alex Orel paused for a photo at ABA’s BankPAC booth. The Kansas Bankers Association (KBA) was the first state in America to present their full fair share contribution to the ABA in 2024. Thank you, Kansas bankers, for supporting KBA and ABA’s BankPAC!!! 29
