Key Points
Main provisions of the bill
The bill adds new requirements for the Financial Stability Oversight Council before it can place a nonbank financial company under Federal Reserve supervision.
The Council must first determine that alternative actions would not adequately mitigate any threats the company poses to U.S. financial stability.
This could make it more difficult for the Council to designate nonbank financial firms as systemically important.
How This Impacts Americans
Potential effects on citizens and communities
If passed, this bill would primarily impact large, non-bank financial firms like insurance companies, hedge funds, and other investment firms. It would make it harder for the government to subject these companies to stricter oversight and regulations, which could benefit the firms but potentially increase financial risks for the broader economy.
