First in the Vault: Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) has a new plan to “make community banking great again” — a key part of his pitch to be the next chair of the House Financial Services Committee under the incoming Trump administration.
In an agenda blueprint to be released later today, the Arkansas Republican will advocate for a broad set of community banking priorities. That includes a call for regulatory tailoring to be “reestablished” by banking supervisors, curtailing how U.S. regulators interact with international regulatory bodies and simplified bank merger reform.
