This bill amends the Financial Stability Act of 2010, mandating that the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) must explore alternative solutions before it can designate a U.S. nonbank financial company for supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Specifically, before voting on such a designation, the FSOC must first consult with the company and its primary regulator. During this consultation, the Council must determine that other actions, such as applying new or heightened standards, or a written plan from the company, are impracticable or insufficient to mitigate any potential threat to the financial stability of the United States. This ensures a thorough evaluation of less intrusive measures prior to imposing Federal Reserve oversight.
