Overdraft Protection Act of 2017
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 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Overdraft Protection Act of 2017
This bill amends the Truth in Lending Act to prohibit a depository institution from engaging in unfair or deceptive acts in connection with overdraft coverage.
Each depository institution that offers overdraft coverage for accounts must disclose overdraft coverage fees. It must also disclose that:
- the consumer's transaction may be declined if there are insufficient funds in the related transaction account, and
- the consumer will not be charged a fee if such transaction is declined.
A depository institution must provide certain other disclosures regarding its overdraft protection program, including prompt notification of the account's overdraft status.
The bill limits the number of overdraft fees a consumer may be charged each month and year, and provides that such fees must be reasonable.
The bill prohibits an overdraft coverage fee if the overdraft results solely from a debit hold amount that exceeds the actual dollar amount of the transaction.
The bill also prohibits a depository institution from:
- charging a non-sufficient fund fee for any debit card transaction, or
- reporting negative information regarding consumer use of overdraft coverage to any consumer reporting agency when the overdraft amounts and coverage fees are paid under the terms of an overdraft coverage program.
