Sunset Provision for Credit Union Agent Membership in NCUA Liquidity Facility.

This bill temporarily changes the rules for how credit unions can be Agent members of the National Credit Union Administration Central Liquidity Facility (CLF). Initially, it grants the NCUA Board more discretion in determining which credit unions qualify as agents. However, three years after enactment, these rules will revert to the original, more inclusive standard. While technical, these changes relate to the financial stability mechanisms of credit unions, which indirectly affects the security of citizens' savings.
Key points
Temporary Change: The NCUA Board gains greater discretion in determining which credit unions can act as CLF agents, potentially affecting liquidity access for some smaller credit unions.
Sunset Clause: After 3 years, the membership rules will revert to the original text, restoring broader access to agent status for all qualifying credit unions.
Stability Impact: The changes concern liquidity support mechanisms for credit unions, which is vital for maintaining their financial stability and protecting citizens' deposits.
