AI Summary

This bill establishes a clear and uniform process, on a nationwide basis, for replacing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in existing contracts that do not provide for the use of a clearly defined or practicable replacement benchmark rate. It defines key terms such as "LIBOR", "benchmark replacement", and "tenor spread adjustment", and outlines provisions for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to select a new benchmark replacement, the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), and make related conforming changes. The bill aims to preclude litigation related to existing LIBOR contracts and address LIBOR references in federal law.
