Section 18 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ( 12 U.S.C. 1828 ), as amended by section 615(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: An insured depository institution may not be or become an affiliate of any broker or dealer, any investment adviser, any investment company, or any other person engaged principally in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution at wholesale or retail or through syndicate participation of stocks, bonds, debentures, notes, or other securities.

An individual who is an officer, director, partner, or employee of any broker or dealer, any investment adviser, any investment company, or any other person engaged principally in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution at wholesale or retail or through syndicate participation of stocks, bonds, debentures, notes, or other securities may not serve at the same time as an officer, director, employee, or other institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution.

Subparagraph

(A)shall not apply with respect to service by any individual which is otherwise prohibited under such subparagraph if the appropriate Federal banking agency determines, by regulation with respect to a limited number of cases, that service by such individual as an officer, director, employee, or other institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution would not unduly influence the investment policies of the depository institution or the advice the institution provides to customers. Subject to a determination under subparagraph (B), any individual described in subparagraph

(A)who, as of the date of enactment of the Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2013, is serving as an officer, director, employee, or other institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution shall terminate such service as soon as practicable after such date of enactment and no later than the end of the 60-day period beginning on such date. Any affiliation of an insured depository institution with any broker or dealer, any investment adviser, any investment company, or any other person, as of the date of enactment of the Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2013, which is prohibited under paragraph

(1)shall be terminated as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of the 2-year period beginning on such date of enactment. The appropriate Federal banking agency, after opportunity for hearing, may terminate, at any time, the authority conferred by the preceding subparagraph to continue any affiliation subject to such subparagraph until the end of the period referred to in such subparagraph if the agency determines, having due regard for the purposes of this subsection and the Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2013, that such action is necessary to prevent undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices and is in the public interest. Subject to a determination under subparagraph (B), an appropriate Federal banking agency may extend the 2-year period referred to in subparagraph

(A)from time to time as to any particular insured depository institution for not more than 6 months at a time, if, in the judgment of the agency, such an extension would not be detrimental to the public interest, but no such extensions shall in the aggregate exceed 1 year. For purposes of this subsection— the terms broker and dealer have the same meanings as in section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( 15 U.S.C. 78c(a) ); and the terms investment adviser and investment company have the same meanings as in section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b–2) and section 3 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–3), respectively. . Section 21 of the Banking Act of 1933 ( 12 U.S.C. 378 ) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: For purposes of this section, the term business of receiving deposits includes the establishment and maintenance of any transaction account (as defined in section 19(b)(1)(C) of the Federal Reserve Act). . The Congress ratifies the interpretation of the paragraph designated the Seventh of section 5136 of the Revised Statutes of the United States ( 12 U.S.C. 24 , as amended by section 16 of the Banking Act of 1933 and subsequent amendments) and section 21 of the Banking Act of 1933 ( 12 U.S.C. 378 ) by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Investment Company Institute v. Camp (401 U.S. 617 et seq. (1971)) with regard to the permissible activities of banks and securities firms, except to the extent expressly prescribed otherwise by this section. The reasoning of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case referred to in paragraph

(1)with respect to sections 20 and 32 of the Banking Act of 1933 (as in effect prior to the date of enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) shall continue to apply to subsection

(aa)of section 18 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (as added by subsection

(a)of this section) except to the extent the scope and application of such subsection as enacted exceed the scope and application of such sections 20 and 32. No appropriate Federal banking agency, as defined in section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, by regulation, order, interpretation, or other action, and no court within the United States may construe the paragraph designated the Seventh of section 5136 of the Revised Statutes of the United States ( 12 U.S.C. 24 , as amended by section 16 of the Banking Act of 1933 and subsequent amendments), section 21 of the Banking Act of 1933, or section 18(aa) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act more narrowly than the reasoning of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Investment Company Institute v. Camp (401 U.S. 617 et seq. (1971)) as to the construction and the purposes of such provisions.
