This misnamed bill adds a number of unnecessary procedural obstacles to the already cumbersome and time-consuming process the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) uses to designate large, non-bank financial entities for increased oversight. The 2008 financial crisis made it obvious that proper consolidated oversight of large non-banks is critical to financial stability. Non-bank financial institutions such as AIG were central contributors to the 2008 crisis and the ensuing economic collapse. The FSOC’s ability to designate non-bank financial companies for enhanced prudential supervision is a crucial line of defense against future systemic risks from non-banks. If enacted this bill has the potential to unravel the regulatory system aimed at preventing the need for future bailouts of “too-big-to-fail” financial institutions. The bill passed on April 11, 2018, and referred to the Senate Banking Committee.
