Beslutar USA:s Senat och Representanthus att

Denna lag kan kallas 2011 års lag för återgång till klok

Sektion 2: Återinförande av Glass-Steagall:
a) En mur mellan affärsbanker och värdepappershandel återinförs i
sektion 18 av den federala insättargarantilagen (12 U.S.C. 1828),
ändrad enligt sektion 615(a) i Dodd-Frank-lagen*** för en
reformering av Wall Street och konsumentskydd, genom tillägg i
slutet av följande stycke:
(aa) Begränsning av värdepappersanknytningar
(1) Förbud mot anknytning mellan ett försäkrat insättningsinstitut
och investeringsbank eller värdepappersbolag - Ett försäkrat
insättningsinstitut får ej vara eller bli anknutet till någon
mäklare eller handlare, någon investeringsrådgivare, något
investeringsbolag, eller någon annan person som i huvudsak ägnar
sig åt emission, lämnande av garanti för emission, försäljning,
eller distribution i parti eller minut eller i konsortium av aktier,
annat bevis om delaktighet i bolag, obligationer, växlar eller andra
värdepapper.
(2) Förbud för tjänstemän, chefer och anställda för
värdepappersbolag att tjänstgöra i styrelser för
insättningsinstitut.
(A) I allmänhet - En person som är tjänsteman, chef, partner
eller anställd hos någon mäklare eller handlare, någon
investeringsrådgivare, något investeringsbolag, eller någon annan
person som i huvudsak ägnar sig åt emission, lämnande av garanti
för emission, försäljning, eller distribution i parti eller minut
eller i konsortium av aktier, annat bevis om delaktighet i bolag,
obligationer, växlar eller andra värdepapper, får inte samtidigt
tjänstgöra som tjänsteman, chef, anställd eller annan
institutionsanknuten part för något försäkrat insättarinstitut.
(B) Undantag - Stycket (A) skall ej gälla för en individ som
annars enligt stycket skulle varit förhindrad, om den ansvariga
federala bankmyndigheten, med förordning för begränsat antal fall,
att tjänstgöring för sådan person som tjänsteman, chef, anställd
eller annan institutionsanknuten part för något försäkrat
insättarinstitut inte skulle otillbörligt påverka
investeringsbeslut för insättarinstitutet eller för för de råd
institutet ger till kunder.
(C) Avslutning av verksamhet - Förutom tillämpningar av stycke
(B), skall varje person beskriven i stycke (A), som vid beslutet av
2011 års lag för återgång till klok bankverksamhet har tjänst
som tjänsteman, chef, anställd eller annan institutionsassocierad
part för något försäkrat insättarinstitut skall avsluta sådan
tjänst så snart det är praktiskt möjligt efter ett sådant
beslutsdatum och senast vid utgången av en 60-dagarsperiod med
början vid ett sådant datum.
(3) Avslutning av existerande anknytning -
(A) Ordnad avveckling av existerande anknytning - Varje anknytning
mellan ett försäkrat insättarinstitut med mäklare eller handlare,
investeringsrådgivare, investeringsbolag eller annan person vid
beslutet av 2011 års lag för återgång till klok bankverksamhet
förbjuden enligt paragraf (1) skall avslutas så snart det är
praktiskt möjligt och senast vid utgången av tvåårsperioden med
början vid ett sådant beslutsdatum.
(B) Tidigarelagd avveckling - Den ansvariga federala
bankmyndigheten kan, efter möjlighet att framföra klagan givits,
när som helst upphäva den föregående paragrafens eftergift om
fortsatt anknytning till slutet den period som angavs där, om
myndigheten beslutar enligt syftet med detta stycke och 2011 års
lag för återgång till klok bankverksamhet att en sådan åtgärd
är nödvändig för att förhindra orättmätig ansamling av
tillgångar, minskad eller orättvis konkurrens, intressekonflikter
eller osund bankverksamhet och om det är i det allmänna intresset.
( C )
Förlängning - Förutom avslutning enligt stycket (B), kan den
ansvariga federala bankmyndigheten
förlänga tvåårsperioden som nämndes i stycke ( A ) från tid
till annan för varje enskilt försäkrat insättarinstitut i ej mer
än sex månader åt gången, om enligt myndighetens bedömning en
sådan förlängning inte skulle vara skadlig för det allmänna
intresset, dock skall ingen sådan förlängning tillåtas att
sammanlagt överstiga ett år.
[Härefter följer endast definitioner och hänvisningar till rättsfall
samt sektion 3 om återkallande av tidigare lagar,
övergångsbestämmelser samt slutligen i sektion 4 rapportskyldighet
för myndigheterna att till kongressen rapportera om någon
förlängning eller tidigarelagd avveckling gjorts.]
* Hittills har sammanlagt 58 kongressledamöter sponsrat motionen.
** Gramm-Leach-Bliley-lagen
var den lag som 1999 upphävde bankdelningslagen Glass-Steagall från
1933. Denna motion innehåller därför mängder av korrigeringar av
just Gramm-Leach-Bliley-lagen.
*** Dodd-Frank-lagen var
den tandlösa finansreform som genomfördes under president Barack
Obama 2010, vilket också gör att att dess ändringar måste
korrigeras för att en effektiv bankreglering skall kunna genomföras.
Nedan följer på engelska hela Marcy Kapturs motion för återinförande av Glass-Steagall:

banking and the securities business, in the manner provided in the
Banking Act of 1933, the so-called `Glass-Steagall Act', and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled,
This Act may be cited as the `Return to Prudent
Banking Act of 2011'.
`(A) IN GENERAL- 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.
`(B) EXCEPTION- 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.
`(C) TERMINATION OF SERVICE- Subject to a
determination under subparagraph (B), any individual described in
subparagraph (A) who, as of the date of the enactment of the
Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2011, is serving as an officer,

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.

such date of enactment.
`(B) EARLY TERMINATION- 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 2011, 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.
`(C) EXTENSION- 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.
