                             [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                     The  Committee  on Financial Services, to whom was referred the
                   bill (H.R. 766) to provide requirements for the appropriate Federal
                   banking  agencies when requesting or ordering a depository institu-
                   tion to terminate a specific customer account, to provide for addi-
                   tional requirements related to subpoenas issued under the Finan-
                   cial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989,
                   and  for other purposes, having considered the same, report favor-
                   ably thereon without amendment   and recommend   that the bill do
                   pass.
                                        PURPOSE  AND SUMMARY
                     H.R. 766, the Financial Institution Customer  Protection Act of
                   2015, prohibits a federal banking agency  from formally or infor-
                   mally suggesting, requesting, or ordering a depository institution to
                   terminate either a specific customer account, or group of customer
                   accounts, or otherwise restrict or discourage it from entering into
                   or maintaining a banking  relationship with a specific customer or
                   group of customers, unless: (1) the agency has a material reason to
                   do so, and (2) the reason is not based solely on reputation risk. The
                   bill also curbs abuses of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recov-
                   ery and Enforcement Act of 1989.
