Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

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

This is further than most bills get, and still no promise of a vote: the calendar is a queue, and the majority leadership decides what is called. A bill can sit here until the Congress ends.

What this bill would do

The TIER Act of 2025 aims to index various financial statutory thresholds to account for changes in the United States gross domestic product. It immediately increases specific asset thresholds within the Federal Reserve Act, the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and the Financial Stability Act of 2010. The bill also establishes a system for periodic adjustments to these thresholds every five years based on GDP growth. Additionally, it directs federal agencies to review and modify regulatory thresholds established by rule. These updates ensure that financial thresholds rise alongside the economy.
