H.R. 4804 · 113th Congress
Bureau Examination Fairness Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 113th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Jun 5, 2014
Bureau Examination Fairness Act - Amends the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 to prohibit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from including enforcement attorneys when examining entities under its jurisdiction.
Requires the CFPB, when requesting data from such entities, to: (1) ensure that the different divisions of the CFPB coordinate with each other before the data is requested, (2) accompany each request with a written statement of its intended use, and (3) use peer-reviewed data sampling based upon limited data sets rather than requesting full data sets (unless the Director determines, in writing, that requesting full data sets is necessary).
Directs the CFPB also, with respect to a data request whose cost of compliance is anticipated to exceed $50,000 per company, to give the entity the Director's written approval for the request.
Requires the CFPB to: (1) complete examination field work and conduct an exit interview with the entity being examined within 60 days after the examination begins, and (2) produce a report of examination or supervisory letter within 120 days after the examination is completed.
Restricts the CFPB to performing only one limited-scope examination of an entity at any one time.
