- Sec. 601: Bank Competition Modernization: Directs agencies not to consider monopoly and competition effects when reviewing bank mergers and holding company transactions that result in an institution under $10,000,000,000 in assets and do not leave one insured depository institution with a physical presence in a metropolitan statistical area. ($10,000,000,000)
- Sec. 302: Fair Audits and Inspections for Regulators’ Exams: Sets deadlines for exams, exit interviews and final reports, but leaves out institutions under a continuous or resident examination program.
