Amendment102nd Congress
An amendment to require banks to meet specified minimum capital requirements in order to engage in the interstate banking and branching activities permitted by the bill. To do so, a bank would need to maintain a real capital-to-assets ratio of at least 6%, and a total capital-to-assets ratio of at least 8%. These requirements would not apply to bank holding companies seeking to consolidate their existing interstate bank holdings into branches of a single bank. The amendment would permit bank regulators to set higher minimum capital requirements, but not lower ones than those specified.
