CBO-H.R. 4790, Volcker Rule Regulatory Harmonization Act
April 3, 2018--Summary
The Volcker Rule restricts financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from engaging in certain proprietary trading of securities, derivatives, commodity futures, and options on those instruments. With some exceptions, the rule also prohibits those institutions from owning, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with hedge funds and private equity funds.
Rulemaking responsibilities under the Volcker Rule are shared among a group of financial regulatory institutions, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
H.R. 4790 would amend current law to grant the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors sole authority for that rulemaking. The bill also would exclude community banks-those with less than $10 billion in assets and that meet certain other criteria-from the Volcker Rule's requirements.
