- Excerpt from Amendments to Preemption Standards:

Deciding whether the revised preemption standards of the Dodd-Frank Act applied, the California Court of Appeal for the Second District, Division 4, concluded that the Dodd- Frank amendments to the National Bank Act (“NBA”) and the Home Owners Loan Act (“HOLA”) are prospective, and do not apply retroactively to prior agreements. Thus, applying the authoritative pre-Dodd-Frank preemption provisions of NBA and HOLA, the court held that the plaintiffs’ respective contract claims against two national banks were preempted by federal law.
