What it does
Congressional Research Service, Jun 18, 2025This bill prohibits a Federal Reserve bank from paying earnings on balances maintained at a Federal Reserve bank by or on behalf of a depository institution. Currently, such balances may receive earnings at least once each quarter at a rate not to exceed the general level of short-term interest rates.

Most filings say only that an organization lobbied on a bill, not which side it took — where that's the case we say so rather than guessing. Quotes are verbatim from the filing. How this is built.
