Financial Institution Regulatory Tailoring Enhancement Act

This bill increases several different asset levels which determine the applicability of specific regulations to financial institutions.

The bill raises the asset level above which insured depository institutions and credit unions become subject to supervision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for purposes of compliance with consumer financial laws and for risk assessments of products and services.

The bill also raises the asset level below which debit card issuers are exempt from interchange transaction fee regulations.

The bill raises the asset level above which banks must comply with the Volcker Rule, which prohibits banks from proprietary trading and having an ownership interest in private funds.

The bill raises the asset level below which financial institutions must comply with less prescriptive 
ability-to-repay
 determinations for residential mortgages.

Finally, the bill raises the asset level below which certain depository institutions and depository institution holding companies qualify as community banks and are therefore subject to a simplified leverage ratio.

Specialty Crops Reporting on Opportunities and Promotion Act of 2023 or the Specialty CROP Act of 2023

This bill expands the annual reporting requirements for the Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops program to require the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide specific information on the competitiveness of U.S. exports of specialty crops.

Specifically, the bill modifies the requirements for a congressionally mandated annual report on U.S. specialty crop trade issues to require USDA to report specific information on acts, policies, and practices of foreign countries that constitute significant barriers to, or distortions of, U.S. exports of specialty crops.

Further, USDA must consult with the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on the report. Before preparing the report, USDA, in coordination with the USTR, must seek comments from the public and the Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee for Trade in Fruits and Vegetables.

Under the bill, USDA must submit the report to Congress in an unclassified form, but may include a classified annex. The unclassified portion of the report must be publicly available.
