Tussling Over Preemption: Emerging Battleground Between State Authorities and Student Loan Servicers
Partners Dave Gettings, Stephen Piepgrass, Tim St. George and associate Amir Shachmurove are published in Business Law Today for their article, “Tussling Over Preemption: Emerging Battleground Between State Authorities and Student Loan Servicers.” The article explores how the Department of Education (“DOE”) and state attorneys general are preparing to clash over whether federal preemption bars, in whole or in part, regulation by the states of federal student loan servicers. The authors highlight potential state arguments in response to the renewed emphasis on federal preemption by the DOE and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and note ways the DOE and DOJ might counter.
