Failing Bank Acquisition Fairness Act

This bill restricts the ability of large banks and financial companies to acquire banks in default or in danger of default if smaller institutions otherwise qualify. Specifically, if a merger with a bank in default results in one institution controlling more than a specified percentage of deposits or liabilities in the United States, regulators are prohibited from approving it, unless no other institution qualifies.
