H.R. 6553House119th Congress (2025-2027)In Committee

TIER Act of 2025

Sponsored by Andy BarrRep. Andy Barr (R-KY)
Introduced December 10, 2025

AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 26, 2026 at 7:42 AM UTC

The Tailoring and Indexing Enhanced Regulations (TIER) Act of 2025 raises a number of dollar‑based thresholds in major financial statutes and creates a formula for automatically updating those limits every five years based on growth in U.S. gross domestic product. The changes apply to banks, bank holding companies, savings‑and‑loan holding companies, and other financial entities that are regulated by the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the FDIC.

Key Provisions

  • Amends the Federal Reserve Act, Bank Holding Company Act, Financial Stability Act, and related statutes to increase static thresholds (e.g., $100 billion to $150 billion, $250 billion to $370 billion, $10 billion to $15 billion, $50 billion to $75 billion).
  • Adds a new section requiring the Federal Reserve Board to adjust these thresholds every five years, using the ratio of current‑dollar GDP to the 2026 baseline, with rounding rules and publication in the Federal Register.
  • Mandates the Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the FDIC to review and modify any regulatory thresholds that are not set by statute, applying the same GDP‑based adjustment formula and reporting the changes to Congress.
  • Updates the Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act table of contents to include the new sections on periodic adjustments.
