It also introduces new experience requirements for important supervisory positions.
Key points

Regular Reports: Key banking oversight bodies will submit semi-annual reports and testimonies to Congress, disclosing data on bank conditions and supervisory actions, increasing public scrutiny.
Congressional Disapproval Power: Congress gains the ability to disapprove certain significant decisions made by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) within 60 days, giving citizens more influence over financial policy.
