Bill adds new reporting rules after regulators invoke bank failure emergency power

What does this do?

This bill sets new reporting requirements for when regulators invoke the "systemic risk exception," an emergency power that protects all deposits at a failed bank above the normal $250,000 insurance limit. GAO would review each use at 60 and 180 days, reporting to Congress on the causes, including possible executive mismanagement or regulatory failures. The bank's primary federal regulator would separately release detailed reports, including examination records, at 90 and 210 days, with limited redactions allowed.

Who does it affect?

Federal banking regulators like the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC face new deadlines and disclosure duties; large banks that might fail in the future would have executive decisions and mismanagement more publicly documented.

Why does it matter?

Congress and the public would gain more detailed information about why a bank failed and how regulators and executives responded, though agencies could withhold some sensitive material with justification to congressional committees.
