Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

A committee approved it and it is on the calendar of the chamber it started in.

What this bill would do

This bill is titled the "Small Bank Holding Company Relief Act." It aims to change how small bank holding companies are categorized by raising a specific financial threshold. Specifically, it directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to update its policy statement. This update would raise the consolidated asset threshold to $25,000,000,000. The change must occur within 180 days of the Act's enactment.
