Introduced Session

Restoring Proven Financing for American Employers Act - Amends the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 with respect to certain prohibitions on proprietary trading by banking entities and certain relationships with hedge funds and private equity funds (Volcker Rule). Prohibits the Volcker Rule from being construed to require divestiture of any debt securities of collateralized loan obligations issued before January 31, 2014. Declares that a banking entity shall not be considered to have an ownership interest in a collateralized loan obligation because it acquires or retains a debt security in it if the debt security has no indicia of ownership other than the right of the banking entity to participate in the removal for cause, or in the selection of a replacement after removal for cause or resignation, of an investment manager or investment adviser of the collateralized loan obligation. Defines "collateralized loan obligation" as any issuing entity of an asset-backed security comprised primarily of commercial loans.
