A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the Department of the Treasury relating to the review of applications under the Bank Merger Act.
This resolution voids a bank-merger rule issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Using the Congressional Review Act, Congress disapproves the OCC rule titled "Business Combinations Under the Bank Merger Act," published at 89 Fed. Reg. 78207 on September 25, 2024, and provides that the rule has no force or effect. Under the Congressional Review Act, the OCC may not issue a substantially similar rule without new authorization from Congress.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 2 quarterly reports filed by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2025 Q2 and 2025 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
