Study Mandated to Improve Failed Bank Resolution and Protect Deposit Insurance Fund.

This law requires federal agencies (FDIC and OCC) to study how to better manage the sale of failed banks to increase competition and efficiency. The goal is to find ways to strengthen the Deposit Insurance Fund, which guarantees citizens' savings. Ultimately, this aims to make the financial system more stable and less reliant on emergency government interventions during crises.
Key points
Mandates the FDIC and OCC to jointly study the use of 'shelf charters' and modified bidder processes when resolving failed banks.
The study will assess if greater use of these tools could increase competition, strengthen the Deposit Insurance Fund, and enhance financial stability.
A report detailing findings and recommending legislative changes must be submitted to Congress within 270 days of enactment.
