The bill, known as the "REVIEW Act of 2025," aims to amend the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 to change the term "appropriate Federal banking agency" to "Federal financial institutions regulatory agency" in section 2222. This amendment will impact the review of regulations related to financial institutions and is intended to enhance regulatory efficiency, verification, itemization, and workflow.
Regulatory Efficiency, Verification, Itemization, and Enhanced Workflow Act of 2025 or the REVIEW Act of 2025
This bill increases the frequency and expands the scope of regulatory reviews conducted by federal financial agencies.
Currently, these regulatory reviews must occur every 10 years to identify outdated or unnecessary regulations imposed on insured depository institutions. The bill increases this frequency to every 7 years.
Additionally, the bill expands these reviews to include an internal review of the cumulative impacts of regulations, including an assessment regarding (1) access to financial products and services, (2) credit availability and market liquidity, and (3) costs and benefits of regulations with respect to financial safety and soundness and overall economic activity.
The bill also codifies the National Credit Union Administration’s inclusion in this review process.
