What the document says

“(1) Home state.--The term "home State" means the State by which the depository institution is chartered. (2) Host state.--The term "host State" means a State in which a depository institution establishes a branch, solicits customers, or otherwise engages in business activities, other than the home State.”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 16

Subsection (e). The two terms are defined for this section. Section 7(f) uses the same pair to work out which State's laws apply to an out-of-State State qualified payment stablecoin issuer.

What the document actually says

“(1) Home state.--The term "home State" means the State by which the depository institution is chartered. (2) Host state.--The term "host State" means a State in which a depository institution establishes a branch, solicits customers, or otherwise engages in business activities, other than the home State.”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 16
That sentence, in plain words

A bank's home state is the one that chartered it. A host state is any other state where it works. That covers a branch or a search for customers.

What this is about

The pair of terms matters for which laws apply. Part 7 uses them the same way. There they settle which state's rules a maker follows.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
