Current stage on Congress.gov: Reported in House.
Federal banking regulators already have to review their rules every 10 years to check for outdated or unnecessary paperwork. This bill speeds the cycle up to every seven years and adds a requirement to assess how the rules together affect consumers' access to credit, market liquidity, and the cost of financial services — then recommend changes. Banks, credit unions, and mortgage lenders would likely see more frequent rollbacks of rules; consumer advocates worry it could weaken oversight added after the 2008 crisis.
