What this bill would do

This bill requires financial regulatory agencies to release and publish supervisory records related to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their associates. It sets strict deadlines for these agencies to give physical copies of these records to specific congressional committees and to make them available to the public online. Agencies are required to protect victims' personal and medical privacy by redacting that information before public release. The bill also forces financial agencies to start immediate investigations into covered financial institutions and their senior executives. Finally, it mandates penalties and industry bans for executives who broke banking, securities, or anti-money laundering laws, and requires criminal referrals to the Attorney General when necessary.
