(2) Aid in statutory construction It is the sense of Congress that, through the enactment of this title, Congress has established a statutory right that ensures that the expectation of privacy that the people of the United States have with respect to financial records is protected. . III Consolidated audit trail 301. Requirements and prohibitions regarding the Consolidated Audit Trail (a) Definitions In this section: (1) Commission The term Commission means the Securities and Exchange Commission. (2) Consolidated Audit Trail The term Consolidated Audit Trail means the consolidated audit trail and central repository created, implemented, and maintained pursuant to section 242.613 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act. (3) Personally identifiable information The term personally identifiable information — (A) means information that can be used to distinguish or trace the identity of an individual, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual, including the name, address, date or year of birth, Social Security number, telephone number, email, or IP-address of an individual; and (B) does not include a CAT–Order–ID or CAT–Reporter–ID, as those terms are defined in section 242.613(j) of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation). (4) Self-regulatory organization The term self-regulatory organization has the meaning given the term in section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( 15 U.S.C. 78c(a) ). (b) Requirement The Commission shall— (1) not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, terminate the Consolidated Audit Trail; and (2) not later that 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, amend any regulation, no action letter, interpretive letter, exemptive letter, legal bulletin, or other guidance of the Commission to conform to the requirements of this section. (c) Prohibitions On and after the date that the Commission carries out the termination required under subsection (b)(1)— (1) neither the Commission nor any self-regulatory organization may administer the Consolidated Audit Trail; and (2) no Federal agency may establish any consolidated audit trail, central repository, or other centralized database that collects personally identifiable information of citizens of the United States, unless a duly enacted law of the United States specifically provides the Federal agency with the authority to take that action. (d) Reimbursement of fees Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, Consolidated Audit Trail, LLC and FINRA CAT, LLC shall reimburse all fees collected by those entities before that date to carry out the Consolidated Audit Trail. IV No central bank digital currency 401. Central bank digital currency Section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act is amended by adding after the 14th undesignated paragraph ( 12 U.S.C. 347d ) the following: No Federal reserve bank, the Board, the Secretary of the Treasury, any other agency, or any entity directed to act on behalf of the Federal reserve bank, the Board, the Secretary, or other agency, may mint or issue a central bank digital currency directly to an individual (including a central bank digital currency issued to an individual through a custodial intermediary) or a digital currency intermediary, offer related products or services directly to an individual, or maintain an account on behalf of an individual (including an account in a specially designated account at a digital currency intermediary or supervised commercial bank).

V Regulations from the executive in need of scrutiny 501. Purpose The purpose of this title is to increase accountability for and transparency in the Federal regulatory process. Section 1 of article I of the United States Constitution grants all legislative powers to Congress. Over time, Congress has excessively delegated its constitutional charge while failing to conduct appropriate oversight and retain accountability for the content of the laws it passes. By requiring a vote in Congress, the REINS Act will result in more carefully drafted and detailed legislation, an improved regulatory process, and a legislative branch that is truly accountable to the American people for the laws imposed upon them. 502. Congressional review of certain agency rulemaking (a) In general Chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, is amended to read as follows: 8 Congressional Review of Certain Agency Rulemaking Sec. 801.

For purposes of this section, a determination under this subparagraph shall be deemed to be a report under subparagraph (A). (2) (A) The Comptroller General shall provide a report on each major rule to the committees of jurisdiction by the end of 15 calendar days after the submission or publication date. The report of the Comptroller General shall include an assessment of the agency’s compliance with procedural steps required by paragraph (1)(B) and an assessment of whether the major rule imposes any new limits or mandates on private-sector activity. (B) Federal agencies shall cooperate with the Comptroller General by providing information relevant to the Comptroller General’s report under subparagraph (A).

(c) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section (except subject to paragraph (3)), a major rule may take effect for one 90-calendar-day period if the President makes a determination under paragraph (2) and submits written notice of such determination to the Congress. (2) Paragraph (1) applies to a determination made by the President by Executive order that the major rule should take effect because such rule is— (A) necessary because of an imminent threat to health or safety or other emergency; (B) necessary for the enforcement of criminal laws; (C) necessary for national security; or (D) issued pursuant to any statute implementing an international trade agreement. (3) An exercise by the President of the authority under this subsection shall have no effect on the procedures under section 802.

(c) In the Senate, if the committee to which is referred a joint resolution described in subsection (a) has not reported such joint resolution (or an identical joint resolution) at the end of 15 session days after the date of introduction of the joint resolution, such committee may be discharged from further consideration of such joint resolution upon a petition supported in writing by 30 Members of the Senate, and such joint resolution shall be placed on the calendar.

The motion is not subject to amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the consideration of the joint resolution is agreed to, the joint resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the Senate until disposed of. (2) In the Senate, debate on the joint resolution, and on all debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the joint resolution.
