Jeffrey Barry's Publications

  • The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (“Check 21”)

    • Annual Review of Banking and Financial Law
    • 2005
    Authors: Jeffrey Barry

    The availability of funds and the collection of checks is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board's (“FRB”) Regulation CC. Congress gave the FRB the authority to adopt rules and regulations necessary to implement the Check 21 legislation. During 2004, the FRB sought comment on its proposed amendments to Regulation CC to implement the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (“Check 21”). The final amendments add a new subpart D to Regulation CC to govern the implementation of Check 21.

    Check truncation has long been a Congressional objective. The Expedited Funds Availability Act, enacted in 1987, directed the FRB to consider implementing regulations requiring its member banks to provide for check truncation, a process by which banks remove an original paper check from the check collection process, and send to the recipient a substitute check instead.

    24 Ann. Rev. Banking & Fin. L. 130
