Rural banks could get a boost from a new federal study.
A new bill would task federal banking agencies with studying how to improve the health and growth of banks in rural areas. The study would also look for rules that might be holding these banks back. This could lead to future changes that help rural communities get better banking services.
Today, federal banking agencies are not required to specifically study how to improve rural banks or identify rules that might limit their growth. If this bill becomes law, these agencies would have to conduct such a study together. They would then need to send a report with their findings to Congress within one year.
