Proposals For Comment
Prohibition on Use of Reputation Risk or Other Supervisory Tools to Encourage or Compel Banking Organizations to Engage in Politicized or Unlawful Discrimination [R-1884]
Rulemaking Proposal
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) is inviting public comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking (proposal or proposed rule) that would codify the removal of reputation risk from the Board’s supervisory programs. The proposal would prohibit the Board from encouraging or compelling Board-supervised banking organizations to deny or condition the provision of banking or other financial products or services to an individual or business based on their constitutionally protected political or religious beliefs, associations, speech, or conduct, or based on involvement by the individual or business in politically disfavored but lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.
