the following bill2 which was read twice and referred to the ,committee on ,banking1 ,housing1 and ,urban ,affairs ,a ,,bill ,to reduce risks to the financial system by limiting banks' ability to engage in certain risky activities and limiting conflicts of interest1 to reinstate certain ,glass-,steagall ,act protections that were repealed by the ,gramm-,leach-,bliley ,act1 and for other purposes4 #a4 ,short title ,this ,act may be cited as the #bast ,century ,glass-,steagall ,act of #bjac4 #b4 ,findings and purpose 7a7 ,findings ,congress finds that-- 7#a7 in response to a financial crisis and the ensuing ,great ,depression1 ,congress enacted the ,banking ,act of #aicc1 known as the ,glass-,steagall ,act1 to prohibit commercial banks from offering investment banking and insurance services2 7#b7 a series of deregulatory decisions by the ,board of ,governors of the ,federal ,reserve ,system and the ,office of the ,comptroller of the ,currency1 in addition to decisions by ,federal courts1 permitted commercial banks to engage in an increasing number of risky financial activities that had previously been restricted under the ,glass-,steagall ,act1 and also vastly expanded the meaning of the business of banking and closely related activities in banking law2 7#c7 in #aiii1 ,congress enacted the ,gramm-,leach-,bliley ,act1 which repealed the ,glass-,steagall ,act separation between commercial and investment banking and allowed for complex cross-subsidies and interconnections between commercial and investment banks2 7#d7 former ,kansas ,city ,federal ,reserve ,president ,thomas ,hoenig observed that with the elimination of ,glass-,steagall1 the largest institutions with the greatest ability to leverage their balance sheets increased their risk profile by getting into trading1 market making1 and hedge fund activities1 adding ever greater complexity to their balance sheets42 7#e7 the ,financial ,crisis ,inquiry ,report issued by the ,financial ,crisis ,inquiry ,commission concluded that1 in the years between the passage of ,gramm-,leach ,bliley and the global financial crisis1 regulation and supervision of traditional banking had been weakened significantly1 allowing commercial banks and thrifts to operate with fewer constraints and to engage in a wider range of financial activities1 including activities in the shadow banking system44 ,the ,commission also concluded that this deregulation made the financial system especially vulnerable to the financial crisis and exacerbated its effects42 7#f7 a report by the ,financial ,stability ,oversight ,council pursuant to section #abc of the ,dodd-,frank ,wall ,street ,reform and ,consumer ,protection ,act states that increased complexity and diversity of financial activities at financial institutions may shift institutions towards more risk-taking1 increase the level of interconnectedness among financial firms1 and therefore may increase systemic default risk4 ,these potential costs may be exacerbated in cases where the market perceives diverse and complex financial institutions as #8too big to fail1' which may lead to excessive risk taking and concerns about moral hazard42 7#g7 the ,senate ,permanent ,subcommittee on ,investigations report1 ,wall ,street and the ,financial ,crisis3 ,anatomy of a ,financial ,collapse1 states that repeal of ,glass-,steagall made it more difficult for regulators to distinguish between activities intended to benefit customers versus the financial institution itself4 ,the expanded set of financial services investment banks were allowed to offer also contributed to the multiple and significant conflicts of interest that arose between some investment banks and their clients during the financial crisis42 7#h7 the ,senate ,permanent ,subcommittee on ,investigations report1 ,j,p,morgan ,chase ,whale ,trades3 ,a ,case ,history of ,derivatives ,risks and ,abuses1 describes how traders at ,j,p,morgan ,chase made risky bets using excess deposits that were partly insured by the ,federal ,government2 7#i7 in ,europe1 the ,vickers ,independent ,commission on ,banking 7for the ,united ,kingdom7 and the ,liikanen ,report 7for the ,euro area7 have both found that there is no inherent reason to bundle retail banking with investment banking or other forms of relatively high risk securities trading1 and ,european countries are set on a path of separating various activities that are currently bundled together in the business of banking2 7#aj7 private sector actors prefer having access to underpriced public sector insurance1 whether explicit 7for insured deposits7 or implicit 7for too big to fail financial institutions71 to subsidize dangerous levels of risk-taking1 which1 from a broader social perspective1 is not an advantageous arrangement2 and 7#aa7 the financial crisis1 and the regulatory response to the crisis1 has led to more mergers between financial institutions1 creating greater financial sector consolidation and increasing the dominance of a few large1 complex financial institutions that are generally considered to be too big to fail1 and therefore are perceived by the markets as having an implicit guarantee from the ,federal ,government to bail them out in the event of their failure4 7b7 ,purpose ,the purposes of this ,act are-- 7#a7 to reduce risks to the financial system by limiting banks' ability to engage in activities other than socially valuable core banking activities2 7#b7 to protect taxpayers and reduce moral hazard by removing explicit and implicit government guarantees for high-risk activities outside of the core business of banking2 and 7#c7 to eliminate conflicts of interest that arise from banks engaging in activities from which their profits are earned at the expense of their customers or clients4 #c4 ,safe and sound banking 7a7 ,insured depository institutions ,section #ah7s7 of the ,federal ,deposit ,insurance ,act 7#ab ,u4,s4,c4 #ahbh7s77 is amended by
