Main Street Capital Access Act

This bill changes banking rules to make them less strict, especially for smaller and rural banks. New banks would get three years to gradually meet certain financial requirements, and rural community banks would have lower requirements for how much money they need to keep on hand. The bill also makes it easier for banks to merge by allowing regulators to approve some mergers without checking whether they reduce competition. It raises the financial size limits that determine which banks have to follow certain rules, meaning more banks would be exempt from things like extra fees, reporting requirements, and needing government approval for acquisitions.
