A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of the Treasury relating to "Regulatory Capital Rule: Modifications to the Enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio Standards for U.S. Global Systemically Important Bank Holding Companies and Their Subsidiary Depository Institutions; Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity and Long-Term Debt Requirements for U.S. Global Systemically Important Bank Holding Companies".

Committee
Latest Action · March 4, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This joint resolution rejects a Treasury Department regulation that modified capital requirements for the largest U.S. banks. Specifically, it disapproves a rule that changed leverage ratio standards and loss-absorbing capacity requirements for "globally systemically important" bank holding companies—essentially the biggest banks whose failure could threaten the financial system. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act, a procedure that allows Congress to overturn federal regulations within a set timeframe. If passed, the rule would be nullified entirely and have no legal effect. The regulation was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 2025, and was introduced in the Senate in March 2026 by Senator Warren.
