Original Open for Business Act of 2023
The Original Open for Business Act of 2023 requires most bank branches (depository institutions) offering in-person services to stay open until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding federal holidays) and maintain at least four hours of Saturday service. This applies to all physical locations of banks and similar financial institutions as defined under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The law would take effect 180 days after enactment, mandating these specific operating hours without exceptions for non-holiday weekends. It directly affects bank customers seeking in-person services outside traditional weekday business hours.
