HR 7691 United States House · 118th Congress

To require the Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council to provide contingency plans for a disruption in the timing of payment on Treasury securities, and for other purposes.

HR 7691 requires the Financial Stability Oversight Council's Chair to create and report contingency plans within 180 days of enactment. The plan must cover disruptions like cyberattacks, natural disasters, or when the U.S. debt ceiling is reached and extraordinary measures run out, ensuring Treasury security payments (interest and principal) continue. It mandates a report to key congressional committees detailing these plans, recommendations for market participants to handle operational issues during disruptions, and specific steps for making payments if federal receipts are insufficient. The bill directly affects Treasury market participants, investors, and government operations by establishing concrete procedures to prevent payment delays during financial emergencies.
