                  CHAPTER 29--HOME MORTGAGE DISCLOSURE
 
Sec. 2805. Relation to State laws

    (a) This chapter does not annul, alter, or affect, or exempt any 
State chartered depository institution subject to the provisions of this 
chapter from complying with the laws of any State or subdivision thereof 
with respect to public disclosure and recordkeeping by depositor 
institutions, except to the extent that those laws are inconsistent with 
any provision of this chapter, and then only to the extent of the 
inconsistency. The Board is authorized to determine whether such 
inconsistencies exist. The Board may not determine that any such law is 
inconsistent with any provision of this chapter if the Board determines 
that such law requires the maintenance of records with greater 
geographic or other detail than is required under this chapter, or that 
such law otherwise provides greater disclosure than is required under 
this chapter.
    (b) The Board may by regulation exempt from the requirements of this 
chapter any State chartered depository institution within any State or 
subdivision thereof if it determines that, under the law of such State 
or subdivision, that institution is subject to requirements 
substantially similar to those imposed under this chapter, and that such 
law contains adequate provisions for enforcement. Notwithstanding any 
other provision of this subsection, compliance with the requirements 
imposed under this subsection shall be enforced under--
        (1) section 1818 of this title in the case of national banks, by 
    the Comptroller of the Currency; and
        (2) section 1818 of this title, by the Director of the Office of 
    Thrift Supervision in the case of a savings association the deposits 
    of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
