Federal regulators issued interim final rules to enact an ICBA-advocated provision of the S. 2155 regulatory relief law expanding eligibility for the 18-month exam cycle. As authorized by the ICBA Plan for Prosperity-inspired law, the interim final rules generally apply the extended exam cycle to institutions with less than $3 billion in total assets.

ICBA met with staff from the White House and the Office of Management and Budget on the Treasury Department’s proposed regulation to implement a 20 percent tax deduction for shareholders in Subchapter S banks and other pass-through entities.
