Summary
This bill amends the Commodity Exchange Act to exclude from the meaning of "financial entity," and so exempt from swap clearing requirements, the bank holding company or savings and loan holding company of a small bank or savings association (whose total assets are $10 billion or less) if the total consolidated assets of the holding company are no greater than that asset threshold.
