Just weeks after mortgage trade groups expressed concern about a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that would raise fees on U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans, Republicans in Congress have revised the original proposal. The bill, H.R. 6047 — also known as the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2025 — was introduced in November by Rep. Tom Barrett...
