Bill 119 s 940, also known as the "Basel Committee on Bank Supervision Reporting Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to mandate certain entities to provide Congress with information regarding the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision.

In addition to the reporting requirements, the bill may also include provisions for Congress to review and assess the effectiveness of the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision in promoting financial stability and preventing financial crises. This information would be crucial for lawmakers to make informed decisions on banking regulations and policies.
Overall, Bill 119 s 940 seeks to enhance oversight and regulation of the banking industry by requiring entities to disclose their involvement with the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision. This legislation aims to promote transparency, accountability, and adherence to international banking standards within the United States.
