Introduced Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

REVIEW Act of 2025

H. R. 6544 To require the Federal financial institutions regulatory agencies to review the cumulative impact of regulations issued by such agencies, and for other purposes.

Introduced Dec 9, 2025

Latest action (Feb 25, 2026) Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 452.

Summary

The REVIEW Act of 2025 would require federal financial institution regulatory agencies to review the cumulative impact of their regulations every seven years instead of the current ten-year cycle. As part of each review, each regulatory agency would conduct an internal assessment of how its regulations affect consumers' access to financial products and services, credit availability, financial market liquidity, and the overall safety and soundness of the financial system. The agencies would be required to estimate the direct and indirect economic costs of their regulations to the extent practicable and provide recommendations for streamlining, simplifying, or eliminating duplicative, outdated, or unnecessarily burdensome regulations. The results of these individual agency reviews would be compiled into a report by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. The bill expands the scope of regulatory review to include not just public comments but also internal assessments of cumulative regulatory impact across the agencies.
