Key Points

  • This bill requires major financial agencies like the Federal Reserve and FDIC to study their own technology. It aims to replace outdated tools that make it hard for the government to monitor banks and catch illegal activity in real time.
  • Agencies must review how they buy new software and hardware. The goal is to find ways to speed up the process so regulators can use the latest tools, including artificial intelligence, to keep the financial system safe.
  • The government would have to report on its tech workforce, including how well it recruits experts and how much it depends on outside contractors. This ensures the people watching our banks have the right skills for the modern world.
  • Every five years, these agencies must give Congress a joint report on their progress. This report will include the costs of upgrades and how different agencies are working together to share data and protect against cyberattacks.
