SEC. 4. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

    Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be 
construed to prohibit the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 
System from prescribing enhanced prudential standards for any bank 
holding company which the Board of Governors determines, based upon the 
bank holding company's size, interconnectedness, substitutability, 
global cross-jurisdictional activity, and complexity, could pose a 
safety and soundness risk to the stability of the United States banking 
or financial system but has not been designated as a global 
systemically important bank holding company.

SEC. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    The amendments made by this Act shall take effect after the end of 
the 1-year period following the date of the enactment of this Act.

Summary: Systemic Risk Designation Improvement Act of 2017 This bill amends the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to allow the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) to subject a bank holding company to enhanced supervision if: (1) the company has been identified as a global systemically important company. Or (2) the risk of the company's financial distress, or the nature of the company's activities, could pose a threat to the financial stability of the United States. Currently, companies are subject to this type of oversight if they possess at least $50 billion in assets or are a nonbank financial company under the FRB's supervision. The Financial Stability Oversight Council must approve of any metrics used by the FRB in determining by regulation that a category of bank holding companies is subject to enhanced supervision. Under this bill, companies subject to enhanced supervision may be required to limit mergers and acquisitions, restrict products offered, or maintain a certain debt ratio. The FRB must publish the list of companies that have been identified as requiring enhanced supervision.
