## Summary

The Federal Reserve updated its rules to raise civil money penalties to keep up with inflation, starting January 13, 2025. This affects anyone facing fines under the Board’s rules, making penalties a bit higher for violations after November 2, 2015. These changes help keep penalties fair and effective without surprise hikes.

## Abstract

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board") is issuing a final rule amending its rules of practice and procedure to adjust the amount of each civil money penalty ("CMP") provided by law within its jurisdiction to account for inflation as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.

The Board published the adjusted maximum CMP amounts for specific statutes, including examples such as third-tier penalties set at $2,513,215, many second-tier penalties at $62,829, first-tier amounts like $12,567, and statute-specific figures (e.g., 12 U.S.C. 334 at $365 and 12 U.S.C. 1820(k)(6)(A…
- Which Violations Are Covered: cost, low. The adjusted CMP levels apply only to penalties assessed on or after January 13, 2025 for violations that occurred on or after November 2, 2015. Penalties for violations occurring before November 2, 2015 remain subject to the Board's 2012 adjustment amounts.
