               Financial  Regulatory   Improvement Act of 2015

      As reported by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs

SUMMARY

S. 1484 would amend federal laws that regulate certain financial institutions and
securities markets. Specifically, the legislation would change the process and procedures
that federal regulators follow for determining which firms should be designated as
systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs), and it would alter a number of
provisions of current law that provide protection to consumers of financial products.

CBO  estimates that enacting the legislation would increase net direct spending by
$284 million and reduce revenues by $93 million over the next 10 years, leading to a net
increase in the deficit of $377 million over the 2016-2025 period. Some of that cost
would be recovered from financial institutions in years after 2025. Pay-as-you-go
procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending and
revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits by at least $5 billion in at least one of the four consecutive 10-year
periods beginning in 2026.

S. 1484 would amend several provisions of law enforced by the Securities and Exchange
Commission  (SEC). CBO  estimates the implementing those changes would cost about
$2 million over the 2016-2020 period. Under current law, the SEC is authorized to collect
fees sufficient to offset its annual appropriation; therefore, we estimate the net cost to the
SEC  would be negligible.

S. 1484 contains intergovernmental mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform  Act (UMRA)  because it would limit the application of some state laws. The bill
would preempt state laws that govern civil liability, nullification of specific types of
contracts, and licensure of mortgage originators. Although the bill would limit the
application of state laws, it would impose no duty on states that would result in additional
spending or a loss of revenues.
