S. 3538 · 118th Congress

Close the Shadow Banking Loophole Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Close the Shadow Banking Loophole Act

This bill provides for the federal regulation and supervision of industrial banks, also known as industrial loan companies (ILCs), and their parent companies. ILCs are state-chartered institutions owned by nonfinancial businesses (parent companies) that provide several services similar to banks, such as originating loans and processing payments. Under current law, the parent companies are not subject to federal banking supervision, however, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) may grant deposit insurance to these institutions.

Under the bill, certain pending ILC deposit insurance applications must receive votes from two-thirds of the FDIC board to be approved. The bill also sets a deadline for FDIC to consider pending applications. If FDIC does not approve an application before this deadline, the application is deemed to have been denied.
