In the other chamber's committee
Passed one chamber and has been handed to a committee in the other.
The committee decides whether it goes any further, and most bills that reach a committee never leave it. A committee that simply does nothing kills a bill without anyone ever voting against it, so no news from here is usually the news.

What this bill would do
This Act, known as the ``TRUST Act of 2025'', seeks to amend the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. It aims to change the thresholds used by Federal banking agencies when examining certain insured depository institutions. Specifically, the bill updates the asset limits that qualify for specific examination cycles. The changes involve increasing a specific dollar amount from $3,000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000. This adjustment affects paragraph (4)(A) and paragraph (10) of Section 10(d) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
