Various Measures
Summary
On December 16, 2025, the House Committee on Financial Services held a session to examine various financial services and housing measures. The bills under consideration included H.R. 4130 (Small Business Relief Act), which would exclude certain institutional investors from registration thresholds; H.R. 1078 (Respect State Housing Laws Act), which would eliminate a federal 30-day eviction notice requirement for federally-backed housing; H.R. 6644 (Housing for the 21st Century Act), a bipartisan housing package addressing housing supply and affordability; H.R. 4646 (Whistleblower Protection Act of 2025), extending protections to HUD-funded contracts; H.R. 6552 (Bank-Fintech Partnership Enhancement Act), requiring a study on bank-fintech partnerships; and several other bills addressing banking regulations and rural housing. The committee also considered H.R. 6550 (American FIRST Act), H.R. 6544 (REVIEW Act), H.R. 6536 (Rural Depositories Revitalization Study Act), and H.R. 6547 (Least Cost Exception Act). These bills reflect the committee's focus on reducing regulatory burdens, expanding housing supply, strengthening community banks, and protecting whistleblowers. The hearing did not guarantee advancement of any bills, as they still required committee votes and further legislative action.
