Bill > HR4353

This bill extends an existing exemption from certain financial regulations to the parent companies of small banks and savings associations. Specifically, it amends the Commodity Exchange Act, a law that governs the trading of derivatives like swaps, to ensure that holding companies of small banks and savings associations (those with $10 billion or less in total assets) are also exempt from mandatory clearing requirements for these swaps, provided the holding company itself also has no more than $10 billion in consolidated assets. This means that the parent companies of these smaller financial institutions will be treated the same way as the small banks and savings associations they own when it comes to these specific swap regulations, simplifying compliance for them.
