Title: ISA Student Protection Act of 2022
Policy area: Finance and Financial Sector

Summary:
ISA Student Protection Act of 2022
This bill sets forth consumer protections and other requirements for educational income share agreements (ISAs). In an educational ISA, a provider credits or advances funding for a recipient's postsecondary education or other training; in turn, the recipient agrees to pay the provider a percentage of the recipient's future earnings over a set period of time. (The Department of Education currently considers educational ISAs as private education loans for the purposes of preferred lender arrangement disclosures.)
Under the bill, the recipient is only obligated to pay back the provider if the recipient earns over a certain amount. The recipient's obligation to pay ends at the specified time even if the recipient does not pay back the full amount of the funding. Further, payments are limited to 20% of the recipient's income. Recipients earning under a certain threshold are exempt from payments.
If a recipient files for bankruptcy, ISAs are not subject to the same undue hardship standard typical of student loan discharges, therefore making these agreements easier to discharge. The bill also applies current consumer loan protections to these agreements. A provider must make certain disclosures to the recipient before entering into an ISA, including how payments are calculated, the length of the agreement, and how these agreements compare to student loan options.
The bill establishes the tax treatment of ISAs, including by exempting from taxable income the amounts received under an ISA.

 TITLE I--NEW CONSUMER PROTECTIONS SPECIFIC TO INCOME SHARE AGREEMENTS

SEC. 101. PROHIBITION ON ACCELERATION; TREATMENT OF EARLY COMPLETION 
              MECHANISMS.

    (a) No Acceleration.--
            (1) In general.--An ISA provider shall not include any 
        mechanism in an income share agreement that accelerates an 
        amount against an ISA recipient in the event of a default under 
        the income share agreement.
            (2) Effect of acceleration clause.--Any agreement with an 
        acceleration mechanism described in paragraph (1) shall, for 
        purposes of all Federal law, be treated as credit under Federal 
        law and shall not be treated as an income share agreement.
    (b) No Impact on Early Completion Mechanisms.--Notwithstanding 
subsection (a)--
            (1) an income share agreement may contain an early 
        completion provision that allows the ISA recipient to terminate 
        the income share agreement prior to any trigger terminating 
        further obligations under the income share agreement (such as a 
        total cap on payments due to the ISA provider or other rights 
        to partially or fully terminate further obligations under the 
        income share agreement) if the early completion provision is 
        optional to the ISA recipient and within the ISA recipient's 
        control; and
            (2) such early completion mechanism shall not be treated as 
        a form of acceleration prohibited under subsection (a), an 
        early completion penalty, or a prepayment penalty.

SEC. 102. CONSUMER PROTECTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL INCOME SHARE AGREEMENTS.

    (a) Monthly Payment Affordability for Educational ISAs.--
            (1) Maximum isa income obligation for educational isas.--An 
        ISA provider shall not enter into an educational ISA with an 
        ISA recipient if the ISA recipient would be committing more 
        than a total of 20 percent of the student's future income 
        toward the payment of such educational ISA and all other 
        educational ISAs of the ISA recipient.
            (2) Self-certification.--In calculating the portion of a 
        student's future income for purposes of this subsection, the 
        ISA provider may rely on a self-certification from the ISA 
        recipient regarding the ISA recipient's outstanding educational 
        ISAs, as of the date of the agreement.
            (3) Calculation methodology and requirements.--
                    (A) In general.--For the purposes of calculating 
                the portion of an ISA recipient's future income that 
                would be consumed by the educational ISA for which the 
                ISA recipient has applied and all other educational 
                ISAs of the ISA recipient as of the date of the 
                agreement, the ISA provider shall calculate the 
                aggregate future burden--
                            (i) in any case where the income threshold 
                        of the educational ISA is less than the maximum 
                        described in subparagraph (B), at hypothetical 
                        future income levels from such income threshold 
                        to the such maximum, in increments of $10,000; 
                        and
                            (ii) in any case where the income threshold 
                        of the educational ISA is equal to or greater 
                        than such maximum, at such income threshold.
                    (B) Maximum.--The maximum described in this 
                subparagraph shall be the greater of--
                            (i)(I) for fiscal year 2023, $70,000; or
                            (ii) for fiscal year 2024 and each 
                        subsequent fiscal year, the maximum for the 
                        preceding fiscal year--
                                    (I) increased by the percentage 
                                increase in the consumer price index; 
                                and
                                    (II) rounded to the nearest $1,000; 
                                and
                            (iii) in the case of an ISA recipient who 
                        has (as of the date of the agreement), or has 
                        applied for, an educational ISA that uses a 
                        schedule of income percentages or a schedule of 
                        fixed amounts as the ISA payment calculation 
                        method, the highest income level referenced by 
                        a schedule for any such educational ISA.
                    (C) Calculation.--
                            (i) In general.--The terms of an 
                        educational ISA for which the ISA recipient has 
                        applied cannot cause the student's aggregate 
                        future burden (defined as the total amounts 
                        expected to be due under all educational ISAs 
                        of the ISA recipient as of the date of the 
                        agreement, and all educational ISAs for which 
                        the ISA recipient is applying) to exceed the 
                        limit in paragraph (1) at any of the income 
                        increments described in subparagraph (A).
                            (ii) Calculation method.--For the purpose 
                        of calculating the percentage burden of an 
                        educational ISA at a given future income level, 
                        the ISA provider shall, as applicable, use--
                                    (I) the income percentage that 
                                would be applicable for the educational 
                                ISA at such income level; or
                                    (II) the fixed amount applicable 
                                for the educational ISA at such income 
                                level, divided by such income level.
            (4) Protections during periods of low earnings.--
                    (A) In general.--The educational ISA shall provide 
                that when an ISA recipient has an income that is equal 
                to or below the income threshold of the educational 
                ISA, the ISA payment obligation is zero dollars.
                    (B) Threshold amount.--The income threshold for an 
                educational ISA shall be an amount such that the 
                difference between the ISA recipient's income for the 
                payment period, minus the subtraction of any ISA 
                obligation, is not less than 200 percent of the poverty 
                line for a single person (as defined in section 673 of 
                the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 
                9902)), prorated for the payment period.
            (5) Required payment relief pauses.--An educational ISA 
        shall offer not less than 3 months of voluntary payment relief 
        pauses (as long as the ISA recipient's current income at the 
        time of requesting the payment relief pause is equal to or less 
        than 400 percent of the Federal poverty line (as defined in 
        section 673 of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 
        U.S.C. 9902)) for a single individual) for every 30 income-
        determined payments required under the educational ISA.
    (b) Ensuring Appropriate Risk Sharing for Educational ISAs.--The 
payments required under an educational ISA for an individual with 
income during the payment term that is less than or equal to 300 
percent of the poverty line for a single individual, prorated for the 
payment period, shall not exceed the payments on a comparable loan that 
bears interest at a rate less than or equal to one-half of the annual 
percentage rate of interest limitation under section 987(b) of title 
10, United States Code.
    (c) Limits on Duration of Educational ISA Obligation.--
            (1) ISA maximum number of payments.--The ISA maximum number 
        of payments shall not exceed 240 monthly payments.
            (2) ISA duration.--The ISA duration of an educational ISA 
        shall not exceed 360 months (except in the case of an extension 
        requested by the ISA recipient).
    (d) Non-Interference.--An educational ISA shall not be construed to 
give the contract holder any rights over an individual's actions other 
than as provided in this Act.

SEC. 103. DISCHARGE PROTECTIONS FOR ISA RECIPIENTS.

    (a) Permanent and Total Disability.--In any case where an ISA 
recipient would be deemed totally and permanently disabled for purposes 
of benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the 
Social Security Administration (determined without regard to whether 
the recipient receives such benefits), all further obligations of the 
ISA recipient under the income share agreement shall terminate, except 
those accruing before the date such a determination would apply.
    (b) Death.--Upon the death of an ISA recipient, all further 
obligations of the ISA recipient under the income share agreement shall 
terminate, except those obligations accruing before the ISA recipient's 
date of death.

SEC. 104. LIMITATION ON AMOUNTS TREATED AS INCOME UNDER EDUCATIONAL 
              ISAS.

    (a) In General.--For purposes of calculating the obligation of an 
ISA recipient to make ISA payments under an educational ISA, the income 
of the ISA recipient shall not include--
            (1) the income of any child or dependent of the ISA 
        recipient;
            (2) any item of income which is not included in the gross 
        income of the ISA recipient;
            (3) any amount received from an individual retirement plan 
        (as defined in section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of 
        1986), a pension, or an annuity; or
            (4) any social security benefit (as defined in section 86 
        of such Code).
    (b) Estimating Income.--
            (1) In general.--In the event that an ISA recipient fails 
        to provide income documentation as reasonably required by the 
        income share agreement, an ISA provider may assign an amount of 
        income to the participant and compute the monthly payment 
        amount for the participant by any of the following methods, to 
        the extent disclosed in the income share agreement:
                    (A) Assigning an income amount obtained from a 
                reasonably reliable third party or a consumer reporting 
                agency, as defined in section 603(f) of the Fair Credit 
                Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. 1681a(f)).
                    (B) If the participant previously provided income 
                documentation or has had an income assigned in the 
                preceding 1-year period, assuming that such income has 
                increased by up to 10 percent, but such increase may 
                not be applied more than once per 1-year period.
                    (C) Contacting the employer of the participant, or 
                any person or entity reasonably believed to the 
                employer of the participant, to obtain, verify, or 
                update the income information of the participant.
                    (D) Contacting the State revenue department or the 
                Internal Revenue Service to obtain the most recent 
                information available about the income of the 
                participant.
                    (E) For educational ISA providers, in any case 
                where the ISA provider has no prior history of income 
                information from the participant, assigning a 
                reasonable qualified income based on--
                            (i) the median income for individuals 
                        working in the profession for which the 
                        educational program of the participant was 
                        intended to prepare the participant, as 
                        determined by information published by the 
                        Bureau of Labor Statistics or other reasonably 
                        reliable publicly available data sources; or
                            (ii) the median income of participants who 
                        attended the same or a reasonably comparable 
                        covered educational program or course of study, 
                        as determined by information published by the 
                        Bureau of Labor Statistics or other reasonably 
                        reliable publicly available data sources.
            (2) Notification.--If an ISA provider assigns an income to 
        the income share agreement of a participant, the ISA provider--
                    (A) shall notify the participant in the monthly 
                billing statement, and in each billing statement 
                thereafter while the assigned income remains applicable 
                to the income share agreement of the participant, that 
                income has been assigned and of the rights of the 
                participant under this section;
                    (B) in any tax year for which the ISA provider has 
                made an assumption about an individual's income using 
                any of the methods described in the prior paragraph and 
                if the participant has authorized ongoing access to the 
                participant's return information under section 403, 
                shall request such information in each year of the 
                payment term;
                    (C) if the participant does provide income 
                information as reasonably required by the income share 
                agreement within 1 year of the date on which the ISA 
                provider notified the participant that assigned income 
                shall be applied to the income share agreement or if 
                the ISA provider receives updated income information 
                through return information authorized under section 
                403, then, within 15 days after the date on which the 
                ISA provider receives such information, shall--
                            (i) update each prior instance in which 
                        assigned income was applied using such new 
                        income information; and
                            (ii) reconcile any difference in amounts 
                        owed by the participant based on those updates 
                        to prior income; and
                    (D) if the participant provides income information 
                more than 1 year after the ISA provider first assigned 
                income to the income share agreement of the 
                participant, may, but shall not be obligated to, update 
                each prior instance in which assigned income was 
                applied using the income information provided by the 
                participant.
            (3) Records retention.--An ISA provider that assigns income 
        to an income share agreement shall retain all applicable 
        records relating to the method and data sources used to make 
        such estimation for 3 years after the end of that income share 
        agreement.

      TITLE III--DISCLOSURES APPLICABLE TO INCOME SHARE AGREEMENTS

SEC. 301. DISCLOSURES.

    The following disclosures shall be provided to ISA recipients:
            (1) In general.--An ISA provider (regardless of whether the 
        ISA provided is an educational ISA) shall provide, to any 
        individual that applies for or signs an income share agreement, 
        a written document that clearly and simply discloses the 
        information required by this Act.
            (2) Application.--The provisions of this title shall not 
        apply to--
                    (A) income share agreements primarily for business, 
                commercial, or agricultural purposes;
                    (B) government or governmental agencies or 
                instrumentalities;
                    (C) organizations; or
                    (D) transactions for which the Bureau, by rule, 
                determines that coverage under the provisions of this 
                title are not necessary to carry out the purposes of 
                this title.
            (3) Regulations.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Bureau shall prescribe regulations 
        to carry out the purposes of this title, which may contain such 
        additional requirements, classifications, differentiations, or 
        other provisions, and may provide for such adjustments and 
        exceptions for all or any class of transactions, as in the 
        judgment of the Bureau are necessary or proper to effectuate 
        the purposes of this title, to prevent circumvention or evasion 
        thereof, or to facilitate compliance therewith.
            (4) Model disclosure forms and clauses.--
                    (A) In general.--Not later than 270 days after the 
                date of enactment of this Act, the Bureau shall publish 
                a model integrated disclosure for educational ISAs and 
                a model integrated disclosure for income share 
                agreements generally in order to facilitate compliance 
                with the disclosure requirements of this Act and aid 
                ISA recipients in understanding the transaction by 
                utilizing readily understandable language to simplify 
                the technical nature of the disclosures.
                    (B) Consideration.--In devising the disclosure 
                forms required under subparagraph (A), the Bureau shall 
                consider the use by ISA providers of data processing or 
                similar automated equipment.
                    (C) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this title 
                may be construed to require an ISA provider to use any 
                model form or clause published by the Bureau under this 
                section.
                    (D) Compliance.--An ISA provider shall be deemed to 
                be in compliance with the disclosure provisions of this 
                title with respect to other than numerical disclosures 
                if the ISA provider--
                            (i) uses any appropriate model form or 
                        clause as published by the Bureau under this 
                        section; or
                            (ii) uses any such model form or clause and 
                        changes the form or clause by--
                                    (I) deleting any information that 
                                is not required under this title; or
                                    (II) rearranging the format, if in 
                                making such deletion or rearranging the 
                                format, the ISA provider does not 
                                affect the substance, clarity, or 
                                meaningful sequence of the disclosure.
            (5) Procedures applicable for adoption of model forms and 
        clauses.--Model disclosure forms and clauses under this section 
        shall be adopted by the Bureau after notice duly given in the 
        Federal Register and an opportunity for public comment in 
        accordance with section 553 of title 5, United States Code.
            (6) Effective dates of regulations containing new 
        disclosure requirements.--
                    (A) In general.--Any regulation of the Bureau, or 
                any amendment or interpretation thereof, requiring any 
                disclosure which differs from the disclosures 
                previously required by this title or any regulation of 
                the Bureau promulgated under this title shall have an 
                effective date of that October 1 which follows by not 
                less than 6 months the date of promulgation, except 
                that the Bureau may at its discretion take interim 
                action by regulation, amendment, or interpretation to 
                lengthen the period of time permitted for ISA providers 
                to adjust their forms to accommodate new requirements 
                or shorten the length of time for ISA providers to make 
                such adjustments when the ISA provider makes a specific 
                finding that such action is necessary to comply with 
                the findings of a court or to prevent unfair or 
                deceptive disclosure practices.
                    (B) Compliance.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), 
                any ISA provider may comply with any such newly 
                promulgated disclosure requirements prior to the 
                effective date of the requirements.
            (7) Deference.--Notwithstanding any power granted to any 
        Federal agency under this Act, the deference that a court 
        affords to the Bureau with respect to a determination made by 
        the Bureau relating to the meaning or interpretation of any 
        provision of this Act, shall be applied as if the Bureau were 
        the only agency authorized to apply, enforce, interpret, or 
        administer the provisions of this Act.

SEC. 302. REQUIRED DISCLOSURES FOR INCOME SHARE AGREEMENTS.

    (a) Disclosures Requirements for All ISAs.--
            (1) In general.--The ISA provider shall make the 
        disclosures required by this section clearly and conspicuously 
        in writing, in a form that the ISA recipient may retain.
            (2) Electronic form.--The disclosures required by this 
        section may be provided to the ISA recipient in electronic form 
        in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and 
        National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. 7001 et seq.).
            (3) Other requirements.--The disclosures required by this 
        section shall--
                    (A) be grouped together;
                    (B) be segregated from anything that is not such a 
                disclosure; and
                    (C) only contain information directly related to 
                the disclosures required under this section.
    (b) Use of Estimates.--If any information necessary for an accurate 
disclosure is unknown to the ISA provider, the ISA provider shall make 
the disclosure based on the best information reasonably available at 
the time the disclosure is provided to the ISA recipient, and shall 
state clearly that the disclosure is an estimate.
    (c) Multiple ISA Providers, Multiple ISA Recipients.--
            (1) Multiple isa providers.--In any case where an income 
        share agreement transaction involves more than one ISA 
        provider, only one set of disclosures shall be given and the 
        ISA providers shall agree among themselves which ISA provider 
        shall comply with the requirements that this title imposes on 
        any or all of the ISA providers.
            (2) Multiple isa recipients.--In any case where an income 
        share agreement transaction has more than one ISA recipient, 
        the disclosures may be made to any ISA recipient whose income 
        will be used to calculate the ISA payments due to the ISA 
        provider.
    (d) Content of Disclosures.--An ISA provider of an income share 
agreement (regardless of whether the income share agreement is an 
educational ISA) shall provide, to any person that applies for or signs 
a consumer income share agreement, a written document that clearly and 
simply discloses the following information:
            (1) A statement that the income share agreement is not a 
        fixed payment installment loan, and that the amount the ISA 
        recipient will be required to pay under the income share 
        agreement may be more or less than the amount financed by the 
        ISA provider and will vary in proportion to the ISA recipient's 
        future income. An ISA provider may satisfy the requirements of 
        this paragraph by providing a table that compares periodic 
        payments under the ISA at different income levels showing that 
        payments vary with income, or that also compares such periodic 
        payments under the ISA at different income levels with a loan 
        product.
            (2) In the case of an educational ISA, the following 
        statement: ``This income share agreement is not a grant or 
        scholarship. If your income is above the income Threshold, you 
        will have to make payments under this income share 
        agreement.''.
            (3) The following statement: ``Payments due under this 
        income share agreement are determined by your income. Your 
        payments are calculated using the ISA payment calculation 
        method described in your ISA. The amount you pay may be more 
        than, equal to, or less than the amount financed.''.
            (4) In a series of boxes or other device designed to 
        feature the following information more prominently than 
        elsewhere in the income share agreement disclosures, the 
        following information:
                    (A) The term ``Amount Financed'' and the dollar 
                amount of the amount funded, followed by a description 
                that states, ``The amount of funds you will receive or 
                that will be credited on your behalf.''.
                    (B) The term ``ISA Payment Calculation Method'' and 
                the following:
                            (i) In the case of an ISA payment 
                        calculation method that is a percentage (or 
                        schedule of percentages), such percentage (or 
                        schedule of percentages) followed by a 
                        description that states, ``The percentage of 
                        your income used to calculate your ISA 
                        Payment.'' and, if the ISA payment calculation 
                        method is a schedule of percentages, an 
                        explanation of where the ISA recipient can 
                        learn more about how the ISA recipient's income 
                        percentage is determined.
                            (ii) In the case of an ISA payment 
                        calculation method that is a schedule of fixed 
                        dollar amounts calculated based on the ISA 
                        recipient's income for a payment period, the 
                        schedule of fixed amounts (or a reference to 
                        the location of the schedule in the ISA) 
                        followed by a description that states, ``The 
                        amount of your ISA payment will vary based on 
                        your income. See your ISA for more 
                        information.''.
                    (C) The term ``Maximum Number of Income-Determined 
                Payments'' and the ISA maximum number of payments, 
                followed by a description that states, ``The maximum 
                number of ISA Payments you will make when your income 
                is above the income threshold.''.
                    (D) The term ``Maximum Duration'' and the ISA 
                duration, followed by a description that states, ``The 
                maximum amount of time that you are required to make 
                income-determined payments, excluding any extensions 
                that you request.''.
                    (E) The term ``Income Threshold'' and the income 
                threshold for the income share agreement, followed by a 
                description that states, ``The minimum income you must 
                make in order to trigger a payment obligation under 
                this income share agreement. If your income is less 
                than or equal to this income threshold, you will not 
                owe any ISA Payments for that period.''.
            (5) A statement that during periods in which the ISA 
        recipient's income is not above the income threshold--
                    (A) the ISA recipient will not owe an ISA payment 
                for that period of time; and
                    (B) any such period of non-payment will not count 
                towards the ISA maximum number of payments but will 
                count toward the ISA duration.
            (6) A statement that the obligations of the ISA recipient 
        under the income share agreement would be dischargeable in a 
        case under title 11, United States Code, in the same manner as 
        a loan that is not described in section 523(a)(8) of title 11, 
        United States Code.
            (7) A description of the terms under which the obligations 
        of the ISA recipient under the income share agreement shall be 
        extinguished in advance of the full ISA duration.
            (8) The definition of income to be used for purposes of 
        calculating the ISA recipient's obligation under the income 
        share agreement, subject to section 104(a).
            (9) A comparison table that includes the following:
                    (A)(i) The amounts and number of ISA payments that 
                an ISA recipient would be required to pay under the 
                income share agreement at a range of annual income 
                levels stated as both a monthly and annual income 
                amount.
                    (ii) The income levels used in the disclosure under 
                this paragraph shall include, at a minimum, the 
                obligations for the ISA recipient--
                            (I) with no income;
                            (II) with income at the income threshold; 
                        and
                            (III) for various income scenarios, 
                        including, at a minimum, calculations at annual 
                        incomes of $40,000, $60,000, $80,000, $100,000,

                    (iii) The comparison table under this paragraph 
                shall include the following statement: ``This table 
                assumes you have the same Income over the entire term 
                of your income share agreement. It does not take into 
                account changes in Income. Your Income will likely 
                change over time.''.
                    (B) The total of all ISA payments over the life of 
                the income share agreement that the ISA recipient will 
                have made in each of the income level scenarios 
                described in subparagraph (A).
                    (C) The amounts and number of payments, the total 
                of all payments, and the annual percentage rate 
                required to be paid under one or more comparable loans, 
                including, at a minimum--
                            (i) if elected by the Bureau, a loan at a 
                        fixed or variable rate and with a number of 
                        payments determined by the Bureau to be an 
                        approximation of the fixed or variable interest

SEC. 303. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATIONAL ISAS.

    (a) Additional Disclosure Timing Rules for Educational ISAs.--The 
following additional provisions apply to any income share agreement 
that is an educational ISA:
            (1) Application and solicitation.--
                    (A) In general.--The ISA provider of an educational 
                ISA that is to be used solely for postsecondary 
                educational expenses shall provide the disclosures 
                described in subsection (b)(1) with any application or 
                solicitation for the educational ISA. For purposes of 
                this section, the term ``solicitation'' means an offer 
                of an income share agreement that does not require the 
                potential ISA recipient to complete an application.
                    (B) Telephone applications or solicitations.--In 
                the case of a telephone application or solicitation for 
                an educational ISA, the ISA provider shall provide the 
                disclosure by, at its option--
                            (i) disclosing orally the information 
                        described in subsection (b)(1); or
                            (ii) mailing a copy of the disclosure 
                        described in subsection (b)(1) not later than 3 
                        business days after the potential ISA recipient 
                        has applied for the educational ISA.
                    (C) Special rule.--For an income share agreement 
                that the ISA recipient may use for multiple purposes 
                including postsecondary educational expenses, the ISA 
                provider need not provide the disclosures required 
                under subsection (b)(1) in the application or 
                solicitation.
            (2) Approval disclosures.--The ISA provider shall provide 
        the disclosures required by subsection (b)(2) before 
        consummation on, or with any notice of approval provided to the 
        applicant for, an educational ISA. If the ISA provider mails 
        notice of approval, the disclosures shall be mailed with the 
        notice. If the ISA provider communicates notice of approval by 
        telephone, the ISA provider shall mail the disclosures not 
        later than 3 business days after providing the notice of 
        approval. If the ISA provider communicates notice of approval 
        electronically, the ISA provider shall provide the disclosure, 
        at its option, either in electronic form in accordance with the 
        requirements of this title or by mailing the disclosure not 
        later than 3 business days after communicating the notice of 
        approval. If the ISA provider communicates approval in person, 
        the ISA provider shall provide the disclosures to the applicant 
        for an income share agreement at that time.
             (3) Final disclosures.--The disclosures required by 
        subsection (b)(3) shall be provided after the ISA recipient 
        accepts the income share agreement.
            (4) Receipt of mailed disclosures.--If a disclosure under 
        paragraph (1), (2), or (3) is mailed to the potential ISA 
        recipient or ISA recipient, as the case may be, the potential 
        ISA recipient or ISA recipient shall be deemed to have received 
        the disclosure 5 business days after the disclosure is mailed.
            (5) Basis of disclosures and use of estimates in 
        educational isas.--
                    (A) Legal obligation.--Disclosures shall reflect 
                the terms of the legal obligation between the parties.
                    (B) Estimates.--If any information necessary for an 
                accurate disclosure is unknown to the ISA provider, the 
                ISA provider shall make the disclosure based on the 
                best information reasonably available at the time the 
                disclosure is provided, and shall state clearly that 
                the disclosure is an estimate.
            (6) Effect of subsequent events.--
                    (A) Approval disclosures.--If a disclosure made 
                under paragraph (2) becomes inaccurate because of an 
                event that occurs after the ISA provider delivers the 
                required disclosures, the inaccuracy is not a violation 
                of this Act, although new disclosures may be required 
                in accordance with this title.
                    (B) Final disclosures.--If a disclosure under 
                paragraph (3) becomes inaccurate because of an event 
                that occurs after the creditor delivers the required 
                disclosures, the inaccuracy is not a violation of this 
                Act.
    (b) Additional Disclosures for Educational ISAs.--In addition to 
the other disclosure requirements of this title, an ISA provider of an 
educational ISA shall provide the disclosures required under this 
subsection as follows:
            (1) Application and solicitation disclosure.--On or with a 
        solicitation or an application for an educational ISA, an ISA

                        offered by the ISA provider at the time of 
                        application or solicitation. If the ISA payment 
                        calculation method will depend, in part, on a 
                        later determination of the ISA recipient's 
                        creditworthiness or other factors, a statement 
                        that the ISA payment calculation method for 
                        which the ISA recipient may qualify will depend 
                        on the ISA recipient's creditworthiness and 
                        other factors, if applicable.

                        of fixed amounts that an ISA recipient is 
                        required to pay that is calculated based on the 
                        ISA recipient's income for a payment period--

                                recipient's income; and
                                    (II) the timing for recalculation 
                                of the ISA recipient's payments under

                REQUIRED BY LAW: Students are cautioned to consider 
                carefully entering into this Income Share Agreement if 
                their total future payment commitment, including any 
                other forms of education finance, may exceed 20 percent 
                of their expected future income. Your total future 
                obligation may exceed this percentage if you have 
                received additional education financing, including 
                other income share agreements, Department of Education 
                Direct or FFEL Loans, or private education loans.''.
    (c) Limitation on Educational ISAs.--
            (1) Co-branding prohibited.--
                    (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph 
                (B) and paragraph (2), an ISA provider, other than the 
                covered educational institution itself, shall not use 
                the name, emblem, mascot, or logo of a covered 
                educational institution, or other words, pictures, or 
                symbols identified with a covered educational 
                institution, in the marketing of educational ISAs in a 
                way that implies that the covered education institution 
                endorses the ISA provider's income share agreements.
                    (B) Special rule.--An ISA provider's marketing of 
                an educational ISA does not imply that the covered 
                education institution endorses the ISA provider's 
                income share agreements if the marketing includes a 
                clear and conspicuous disclosure, equally prominent and 
                closely proximate to the reference to the covered 
                educational institution, that the covered educational 
                institution does not endorse the ISA provider's income 
                share agreements and that the ISA provider is not 
                affiliated with the covered educational institution.
            (2) Endorsed isa provider arrangements.--If an ISA provider 
        and a covered educational institution have entered into an 
        arrangement under which the covered educational institution 
        agrees to endorse the ISA provider's educational ISAs, and such 
        arrangement is not prohibited by other applicable law or 
        regulation, paragraph (1)(A) shall not apply as long as the 
        educational ISA marketing includes a clear and conspicuous 
        disclosure, equally prominent and closely proximate to the 
        reference to the covered educational institution, that the ISA 
        provider's income share agreements are not offered or made by 
        the covered educational institution, but are made by the ISA 
        provider.
    (d) Educational ISA Recipient's Right To Accept.--
            (1) Acceptance period.--The ISA recipient has the right to 
        accept the terms of an educational ISA at any time not later 
        than 30 calendar days following the date on which the ISA 
        recipient receives the disclosures required under subsection 
        (b)(2).
            (2) Limitations on changes.--Except for changes permitted 
        under paragraph (3), the terms of the educational ISA that are 
        required to be disclosed under paragraphs (2) and (3) of 
        subsection (b) may not be changed by the ISA provider prior to 
        the earlier of--
                    (A) the date of disbursement of the income share 
                agreement; or
                    (B) the expiration of the 30-day period described 
                in paragraph (1), if the ISA recipient has not accepted 
                the income share agreement before within the period.
            (3) Exceptions not requiring re-disclosure.--
                    (A) In general.--Notwithstanding paragraph (2), 
                nothing in this section shall prevent an ISA provider 
                of an educational ISA from--
                            (i) withdrawing an offer before 
                        consummation of the transaction if the making 
                        of the income share agreement would be 
                        prohibited by law or if the ISA provider has 
                        reason to believe that the ISA recipient has 
                        committed fraud in connection with the income 
                        share agreement application;
                            (ii) changing the ISA payment calculation 
                        method and terms if the change will 
                        unequivocally benefit the ISA recipient; or
                            (iii) reducing the amount funded based upon 
                        a certification or other information received 
                        from the covered educational institution, or 
                        from the ISA recipient, indicating that the 
                        student's cost of attendance has decreased or 
                        the ISA recipient's other financial aid has 
                        increased, except that, in such case, the ISA 
                        provider may make corresponding changes to the 
                        terms of the ISA payment calculation method, 
                        ISA duration, and other terms only to the 
                        extent that the ISA recipient would have 
                        received the terms if the ISA recipient had

            (4) Exceptions requiring re-disclosure.--
                    (A) In general.--Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and 
                (3), nothing in this section prevents an ISA provider, 
                at its option, from changing the ISA payment 
                calculation method or terms of the income share 
                agreement to accommodate a specific request by the ISA 
                recipient, such as a request for a different repayment 
                option.
                    (B) Additional disclosures required.--If the ISA 
                provider changes the rate or terms of the income share

                        income share agreement, as required under 
                        paragraph (1); and
                            (ii) shall not make further changes to the

                        except as specified in paragraph (3)(B).
                    (C) No further withdrawals or changes.--Except as 
                permitted under paragraph (3)(B), unless the ISA 
                recipient accepts the income share agreement offered by 
                the ISA provider in response to the ISA recipient's 
                request in accordance with subparagraph (A), the ISA 
                provider may not withdraw or change the ISA payment 
                calculation method or any terms of the income share 
                agreements for which the ISA recipient was approved 
                prior to the ISA recipient's request for a change in 
                income share agreement terms under this paragraph.
    (e) Educational ISA Recipient's Right To Cancel.--The ISA recipient 
may cancel an educational ISA, without penalty, until midnight of the 
third business day following the date on which the ISA recipient 
receives the disclosures required by subsection (b)(3). No funds may be 
disbursed for an educational ISA until the 3-business-day period has 
expired, absent exceptional circumstances necessitating disbursement 
based on a request from the covered educational institution. In such a 
case, the covered educational institution shall promptly, upon 
cancellation by the student, refund the amounts to the ISA provider.
    (f) Self-Certification Form.--For an educational ISA intended to be 
used for the postsecondary educational expenses of a student while the 
student is attending an institution of higher education, the ISA 
provider shall obtain, from the ISA recipient or the institution of 
higher education, the educational ISA certification form developed by

    TITLE V--APPLYING EXISTING CONSUMER PROTECTIONS TO INCOME SHARE 
                               AGREEMENTS

SEC. 501. EQUAL ACCESS TO INCOME SHARE AGREEMENTS.

    (a) Activities Constituting Discrimination.--It shall be unlawful 
for any ISA provider to discriminate against any applicant, with 
respect to any aspect of an income share agreement--
            (1) on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, 
        sex or marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the 
        capacity to contract);
            (2) because all or part of the applicant's income derives 
        from any public assistance program (except for those excluded 
        from the definition of income established by the income share 
        agreement); or
            (3) because the applicant has in good faith exercised any 
        right under this Act.
    (b) Activities Not Constituting Discrimination.--It shall not 
constitute discrimination for purpose of subsection (a) for an ISA 
provider--
            (1) to make an inquiry of the applicant's age or of whether 
        the applicant's income derives from any public assistance 
        program, if such inquiry is for the purpose of determining the 
        amount and probable continuance of income levels, credit 
        history, or other pertinent element of creditworthiness as 
        provided in regulations of the Bureau;
            (2) to use any empirically derived credit system that 
        considers age if that system is demonstrably and statistically 
        sound in accordance with regulations of the Bureau, except that 
        in the operation of such a system, the age of an elderly 
        applicant may not be assigned a negative factor or value;
            (3) to make an inquiry of, or to consider the age of, an 
        elderly applicant when the age of that applicant is to be used 
        by the creditor in the extension of credit in favor of the 
        applicant; or
            (4) to use any empirically derived system that considers 
        the expected future income of an applicant to determine whether 
        to approve an application or to establish the financial and 
        other terms of an income share agreement, if that empirically 
        derived system is demonstrably and statistically sound and 
        reasonably designed such that approved applicants are all 
        reasonably expected to pay substantially similar effective 
        annual percentage rates as other similarly situated applicants, 
        except that in accordance with any regulations of the Bureau in 
        the operation of such a system to project an applicant's 
        expected future Income, an ISA provider--
                    (A) may not consider an applicant's status as a 
                member or potential member of any of the classes 
                described in subsection (a);
                    (B) may consider an applicant's current employment 
                status, current debt and other financial obligations, 
                or current and past income (as of the date of 
                application); or
                    (C) in the case of educational ISAs, may consider 
                the historical income of consumers who have made 
                comparable progress toward the completion of the 
                educational program in which the applicant is or is 
                expected to be enrolled or toward a reasonably 
                comparable educational program.
    (c) Additional Activities Not Constituting Discrimination.--It 
shall not be a violation of subsection (a) for an ISA provider to 
refuse to extend an income share agreement--
            (1) that is offered pursuant to--
                    (A) any financial assistance program expressly 
                authorized by law for an economically disadvantaged 
                class of persons;
                    (B) any financial assistance program administered 
                by a nonprofit organization for its members or an 
                economically disadvantaged class of persons; or
                    (C) any special purpose financial assistance 
                program that--
                            (i) is carried out by a for-profit 
                        organization to meet special social needs; and
                            (ii) meets standards prescribed in 
                        regulations by the Bureau; or
            (2) if the refusal is required by, or made pursuant to, a 
        program described in paragraph (1).
    (d) Reason for Adverse Action; Procedure Applicable.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 30 days (or such longer 
        reasonable time as specified in regulations of the Bureau for 
        any class of income share agreement transaction) after the date 
        on which an ISA provider receives a completed application for 
        an income share agreement, the ISA provider shall notify the 
        applicant of--
                    (A) the action taken by the ISA provider with 
                respect to the application;
                    (B) in the case of an adverse action, a clear and 
                accurate disclosure of the applicant's right to a 
                written statement of reasons in accordance with 
                paragraph (2) within 60 days after receiving the notice 
                under this paragraph; and
                    (C) the identity of the person or office from which 
                the statement of reasons described in paragraph (2) may 
                be obtained.
            (2) Statement of reasons.--
                    (A) In general.--Each applicant against which an 
                adverse action is taken shall be entitled to a written 
                statement from the applicable ISA provider regarding 
                the specific reasons for that adverse action, if the 
                request is made by the applicant not later than 60 days 
                after receiving the notice of an adverse action under 
                paragraph (1).
                    (B) Timing.--An ISA provider shall provide an 
                applicant with the statement of reasons under 
                subparagraph (A) by the date that is not more than 30 
                days after the date of the consumer's request.
                    (C) Oral statement.--Notwithstanding subparagraph 
                (A), the statement described in this paragraph may be 
                provided orally if the oral notification advises the 
                applicable applicant of the right of the applicant to 
                have the statement of reasons confirmed in writing, 
                upon written request by the applicant.
                    (D) Third-party request.--If a third party requests 
                that an ISA provider make a specific extension of an 
                income share agreement directly or indirectly to an 
                applicant, the statement under this paragraph may be 
                made directly by the ISA provider, or indirectly 
                through the third party, if the identity of the ISA 
                provider is disclosed.
                    (E) Verbal statements.--The requirements of this 
                paragraph may be satisfied by a verbal statement or 
                notification in the case of an ISA provider that acted 
                on not more than 150 applications during the calendar

                applicable adverse action is taken, as determined under 
                regulations of the Bureau.

                in the judgment of the Bureau are necessary or proper 
                to effectuate the purposes of this section, to prevent 
                circumvention or evasion of this section, or to

                within such a class may be exempted only if the Bureau

                    TITLE VI--RELATION TO OTHER LAWS

SEC. 601. TREATMENT UNDER OTHER LAWS.

    (a) Insurance and Wagering.--An income share agreement shall not be 
treated as a contract for insurance, or as a betting or wagering 
contract, under any Federal or State law, except in the case of a State 
law that expressly states the law is intended to apply to income share 
agreements as defined in this Act.
    (b) Payments Not Considered Prepayments.--Any right that an ISA 
recipient may have to pay an amount greater than the amount financed 
under an income share agreement in order to extinguish the income share 
agreement earlier than the ISA duration or ISA maximum number of 
payments shall not be subject to any Federal or State law with respect 
to prepayment penalties, as long as--
            (1) the prepayment complies with the limitations on income 
        share agreements required under this Act and the amendments 
        made by this Act; and
            (2) in the case of a State law, the State law does not 
        expressly state that the law is intended to apply to income 
        share agreements as defined in this Act.
An income share agreement under this Act is not subject to the 
application of 15 U.S.C. 1650(e), to the extent it would be applicable 
to an income share agreement.
    (c) Treatment of Educational ISAs.--
            (1) Assignment of future wages for educational isas.--An 
        educational ISA shall be a valid, binding, and enforceable 
        contract, notwithstanding any State law limiting or otherwise 
        regulating assignments of future wages or other income, except 
        in the case of a State law that expressly states the law is 
        intended to apply to income share agreements as defined in this 
        Act.
            (2) Preemption of state law with respect to usury and 
        interest rates for educational isas.--An educational ISA shall 
        not be subject to a State law with respect to usury, interest 
        rates, fees, and charges for credit, loans, credit or 
        installment sales, or a State law requiring that installment 
        payments be substantially equal in amount, except in the case 
        of a State law that expressly states the law is intended to 
        apply to income share agreements as defined in this Act.
            (3) Preemption of state laws with respect to ability-to-
        repay and licensing laws for educational isas.--An educational 
        ISA shall not be subject to a State law with respect to 
        ``ability-to-repay'' requirements, and neither an ISA provider 
        issuing an educational ISA or its successor in interest, nor 
        any entity servicing any educational ISA on behalf of an ISA 
        provider or its successor in interest, shall be subject to any 
        State law with respect to licensing or registration, except in 
        the case of a State law that expressly states the law is 
        intended to apply to income share agreements, as defined in 
        this Act.

SEC. 602. RELATION TO STATE LAW.

    (a) In General.--
            (1) Rule of construction.--This Act, other than the 
        provisions of titles I and III and section 501, may not be 
        construed as annulling, altering, or affecting, or exempting 
        any person subject to the provisions of this Act from complying 
        with the statutes, regulations, orders, or interpretations in 
        effect in any State, except to the extent that any such 
        provision of law is inconsistent with the provisions of this 
        Act, and then only to the extent of the inconsistency.
            (2) Greater protection under state law.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, a statute, regulation, order, or 
        interpretation in effect in any State is not inconsistent with 
        the provisions of this Act if the protection that such statute, 
        regulation, order, or interpretation affords to ISA recipients 
        or applicants is greater than the protection provided under 
        this Act. A determination regarding whether a statute, 
        regulation, order, or interpretation in effect in any State is 
        inconsistent with the provisions of this Act may be made by the 
        Bureau on its own motion or in response to a nonfrivolous 
        petition initiated by any interested person.
    (b) Relation to Other Provisions of Enumerated Consumer Laws That 
Relate to State Law.--No provision of this Act, except as provided in 
titles I and III and section 501, shall be construed as modifying, 
limiting, or superseding the operation of any provision of an 
enumerated consumer law that relates to the application of a law in 
effect in any State with respect to such enumerated consumer law.
    (c) Additional Consumer Protection Regulations in Response to State 
Action.--
            (1) Notice of proposed rule required.--The Bureau shall 
        issue a notice of proposed rulemaking whenever a majority of 
        the States has enacted a resolution in support of the 
        establishment or modification of a consumer protection 
        regulation by the Bureau.
            (2) Bureau considerations required for issuance of final 
        regulation.--Before prescribing a final regulation based upon a 
        notice issued under paragraph (1), the Bureau shall take into 
        account whether--
                    (A) the proposed regulation would afford greater 
                protection to consumers than any existing regulation;
                    (B) the intended benefits of the proposed 
                regulation for consumers would outweigh any increased 
                costs or inconveniences for consumers, and would not 
                discriminate unfairly against any category or class of 
                consumers; and
                    (C) a Federal banking agency has advised that the 
                proposed regulation is likely to present an 
                unacceptable safety and soundness risk to insured 
                depository institutions.
            (3) Explanation of considerations.--The Bureau--
                    (A) shall include a discussion of the 
                considerations required in paragraph (2) in the Federal 
                Register notice of a final regulation prescribed 
                pursuant to this subsection; and
                    (B) whenever the Bureau determines not to prescribe 
                a final regulation, shall publish an explanation of 
                such determination in the Federal Register, and provide 
                a copy of such explanation to each State that enacted a 
                resolution in support of the proposed regulation, the 
                Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the 
                Senate, and the Committee on Financial Services of the 
                House of Representatives.
            (4) Reservation of authority.--No provision of this 
        subsection shall be construed as limiting or restricting the 
        authority of the Bureau to enhance consumer protection 
        standards established pursuant to this Act in response to a 
        motion of the Bureau or in response to a request by any other 
        interested person.
            (5) Rule of construction.--No provision of this subsection 
        shall be construed as exempting the Bureau from complying with 
        subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code.
