Enhanced Diversity in Federal Reserve Leadership

This act aims to increase gender, racial, and ethnic diversity among Federal Reserve bank presidents. It mandates interviewing candidates from these diverse groups to ensure a fairer selection process. For citizens, this means that those responsible for monetary policy will better reflect the diversity of society.
Key points
Federal Reserve banks must interview at least one gender-diverse individual and one racially or ethnically diverse individual when appointing presidents.
Federal Reserve banks will annually report demographic data on presidential candidates.
The act also makes technical adjustments in various laws, changing 'Chairman' to 'Chair' for the Federal Reserve Board's head, promoting gender-neutral language.
