What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act," seeks to abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and all Federal reserve banks. It also calls for the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act. The dissolution process is set to take effect at the end of a one-year period following the Act's enactment. During this year, the Chairman of the Board of Governors is tasked with managing employees and assets to wind up affairs. Assets will be liquidated by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to maximize returns to the Treasury. Finally, outstanding liabilities will be assumed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
