Taking Account of Institutions with Low Operation Risk Act of 2025 or the TAILOR Act of 2025
This bill addresses the supervision of financial institutions.
Federal financial regulatory agencies must (1) tailor any regulatory actions so as to limit burdens on the institutions involved, with consideration of the risk profiles and business models of those institutions; and (2) report to Congress on specific actions taken to do so, as well as on other related issues. The bill's tailoring requirement applies to future regulatory actions and to regulations adopted within the last 15 years.
The bill also reduces certain reporting requirements for community banks eligible for a simplified capital leverage ratio.
Finally, federal banking agencies must report on the modernization of bank supervision, including examiner workforce and training and statutory changes necessary to achieve more effective supervision.

regulation; and

the regulatory impact, including cost, human resource
allocation, and other burdens, on the institution or type of
institution as is appropriate for the risk profile and business
model involved.
(c) Factors To Consider.--In carrying out the requirements of
subsection (b), each Federal financial institutions regulatory agency
shall consider--
(1) the aggregate effect of all applicable regulatory
action on the ability of institutions to flexibly serve
customers of the institutions and local markets on and after

(2) the potential effect that efforts to implement the
regulatory action and third-party service provider actions may
work to undercut efforts to tailor the regulatory action
described in subsection (b)(2); and
(3) the statutory provision authorizing the regulatory
action, the congressional intent with respect to the statutory
provision, and the underlying policy objectives of the
regulatory action.
(d) Notice of Proposed and Final Rulemaking.--Each Federal

every notice of proposed rulemaking and in any final rulemaking for a
regulatory action described in subsection (b).

regulatory agency shall--

Representatives and ending on the date of enactment of
