Community Investment and Prosperity Act

Sponsored By: Senator Tim Scott

Introduced

Summary

Raises the cap on banks' investments for public-welfare activities from 15 to 20. This change targets how much national banks and Federal Reserve System member banks may hold in investments meant to promote the public welfare.

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.
