Abstract
(S2999 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-02-05): Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Hearings held.
Why this matters
The Main Street Depositor Protection Act is one of several 119th Congress proposals revisiting deposit insurance and depositor safeguards in the wake of the 2023 regional bank stress episodes. At introduction stage its substantive impact is unknown, but it sits alongside HR8088, HR8090, and the FDIC’s own Part 327 assessment proposal as part of an active legislative and regulatory conversation about the scope and pricing of deposit insurance. Neutral tracking is warranted until bill text and committee action clarify the mechanism.
