Rural Depositories Revitalization Study Act

This bill requires the Federal banking agencies —comprising the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation—to undertake a joint study. The primary objective of this study is to identify effective methods for enhancing the growth, capital adequacy, and profitability of depository institutions that primarily serve rural areas across the United States. Furthermore, the study is tasked with pinpointing any existing Federal statutes or regulations enforced by these agencies that may limit either the identified improvement methods or the establishment of de novo depository institutions in rural regions. Within six months of the bill's enactment, the Federal banking agencies are mandated to jointly issue a comprehensive report to Congress, detailing all findings and determinations derived from this crucial study.
