What the document says

“(A) the principal causes for the low number of de novo insured depository institutions in the 10-year period ending on the date of enactment of this subsection;”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 908

The section requires the federal banking agencies to study jointly the main causes of the low number of new insured depository institutions over the ten years ending at enactment, ways to promote more in underserved areas, and ways to let new institutions including rural, community development, and minority ones use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio. A joint report is due to the two committees within a year of enactment.

What the document actually says

“(A) the principal causes for the low number of de novo insured depository institutions in the 10-year period ending on the date of enactment of this subsection;”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 908
That sentence, in plain words

The study must find the main causes of one problem. Few new banks have opened in the last ten years.

What this is about

It must also look for ways to get more banks into places with none. And it must look at one capital rule for small banks. The report is due within a year.

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.
