DE Social Responsibility Committee 2018 Report

Delaware Credit Unions’ Social Responsibility Committee members met by conference call several times throughout the summer as they researched changing the focus of their fund- raising efforts throughout the state. After much research, and a lot of spirited debate, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware (BGCDE) was selected.

The credit unions came together quickly to accomplish a “Supply Closet” drive – collecting items used by the after-school program administered by the BGCDE. With 15 Club locations and 27 programs at schools throughout Delaware, the supply closets are always in need of restocking. In less than a month, the credit unions were able to provide the BGCDE with games, coloring books, crayons and markers, paper goods, and much more!

The Committee made an additional presentation in November to Mary Kate Benson, Volunteer Coordinator for the BGCDE, and Julia Durodoye, BCGDE, Senior Executive Resource Director, in the amount of $1,555.00.

The Committee is meeting at the end of January to chart the course of support for the BGCDE throughout 2019.

In addition to providing support for the BGCDE throughout the state, Delaware’s Credit Unions are actively involved in their local communities they serve through fund-raising activities and volunteer support for many organizations.

The Small Business Credit Protection Act of 2019 (Rubio-Kennedy)

Summary: Various state laws and the Fair Credit Reporting Act provide protections to “consumer” credit in the wake of a breach. However, business credit is excluded from the statutory definition of “consumers” and thus, while small business’s nonpublic information has been subject to data breaches, they have no statutory protection. The consistent bias in federal laws incentivizes entrepreneurs to use their personal credit, as opposed to a commercial line of credit, exposing their new business to more personal risk.

Using their personal credit is more risky for new businesses because, according to SBA, about 50 percent of small businesses fail within the first five years and about one in three survive to last ten years.

The Small Business Credit Protection Act would reduce the bias in the code and protect small businesses by requiring credit bureaus to:

• Inform small businesses, within 30 days, if their nonpublic personal data has been exposed to a data breach,

• Prohibit credit bureaus from charging small businesses for a credit report within 180 days following a breach and;

• Direct GAO to conduct a report determining the economic impact of credit reporting company data breaches have on small businesses.
