So, what is this GUIDE Compliance Act anyway?
In June, Steve Day, the president of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), testified in a hearing before the House Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions.

That’s because Day was there to advocate for the passage of the “Give Useful Information to Define Effective (GUIDE) Compliance Act.”
