Show full summary
- National banks: National banking associations would be allowed to increase the aggregate amount they hold for public-welfare investments by moving the statutory cap from 15 to 20.
- State member banks: Banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System would see the same cap increase under the Federal Reserve Act, matching the national bank change.
- Communities and public-welfare projects: By raising the cap, the bill could free space for more private bank investment in community development and other public-welfare activities, but it does not create new federal programs or funding streams.
