Bill Summary

A BILL To require a full audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks by the Comptroller General of the United States, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2025, requires a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve (the central banking system of the United States) by the Comptroller General (the head of the Government Accountability Office) within 12 months of enactment. The audit will examine the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and Federal Reserve banks, and the Comptroller General must submit a detailed report to Congress within 90 days of completing the audit. The report must include findings, conclusions, and recommendations for potential legislative or administrative actions. The bill removes previous legal limitations on auditing the Federal Reserve, specifically repealing certain restrictions in existing law that previously prevented full scrutiny of the Federal Reserve's operations. The legislation also makes technical amendments to various sections of federal code related to the Federal Reserve, clarifying and expanding the scope of potential audits and information disclosure. By mandating this comprehensive audit, the bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the Federal Reserve's activities, which have significant implications for U.S. monetary policy and financial regulation.
