Proposal to Implement Revisions to Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
I am supportive of the statutory amendments to Section 19 of the FDI Act,1 and the 多宝游戏下载鈥檚 proposal to implement those amendments, that reduce the scope of offenses for which an application must be approved by the 多宝游戏下载 in order for an individual to work at a bank. These changes remove a barrier that discourages banks from hiring individuals who have committed minor crimes and completed their sentences, reduce administrative burdens on job applicants and banks who will no longer need to file an application and await permission from the 多宝游戏下载, and potentially expand the pool of job applicants for banks in a tight labor market.
I appreciate the staff鈥檚 work on the proposal, and look forward to reviewing comments.
