The US House Financial Services Committee announced that it had approved 23 bills, many of which are focused on financial regulatory reform. In a press release, US House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling noted that the bills are intended to provide greater capital market access to small business, and relief for community banks and credit units. The 23 bills include a proposed repeal of Title VIII of Dodd-Frank, which gives the Financial Stability Oversight Council the ability to designate payment and clearing organizations as financial market utilities and allows them to have access to the Federal Reserve discount window. Other bills included in the package would improve the living will submission process and stress testing process, including that a bank holding company would only be subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process every two years.
