(Sec. 5) Financial institutions may appeal a material supervisory determination contained in a final report of examination. The director must determine the merits of the appeal on the record, or, at the election of the financial institution, refer the appeal to an administrative law judge.  The director's decision on an appeal shall: (1) be the final agency action, and (2) bind the agency whose supervisory determination was the subject of the appeal and the financial institution making the appeal. Financial institutions may also petition for judicial review of the director's decision.  The bill prohibits a federal financial institutions regulatory agency from:  retaliating against a financial institution, including service providers, or any institution-affiliated party, for exercising appellate rights under this bill; or delaying or denying any agency action that would benefit a financial institution or any institution-affiliated party on the basis that an appeal under this bill is pending.  (Sec. 6) The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 is amended to require:    the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to establish an independent intra-agency appellate process in connection with the regulatory appeals process, and   safeguards to protect an insured depository institution or insured credit union from retaliation by any federal banking agency for exercising its rights.
