Public Law 119-101, H.R. 6644, was approved July 11, 2026. Its table of contents includes Title IX, Strengthening Community Banks' Role in Housing, with sections on community bank deposit access, keeping deposits local, tailored supervisory testing, promoting new bank formation, and a rural depositories study. The statutory text creates brokered-deposit exceptions for eligible institutions under $10 billion, raises reciprocal-deposit thresholds, increases certain examination thresholds, and authorizes community-bank capital phase-in rules.

Senate Vote 182 was on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 6644, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. The motion was agreed to 85-5, and Marshall (R-KS) is listed as Yea.
Assessments
Public Law 119-101 was enacted during Marshall's current Senate term and included housing-related provisions that reduce regulatory or funding constraints for community banks, such as brokered-deposit exceptions, reciprocal-deposit threshold changes, examination threshold changes, and capital phase-in authority. Marshall voted for the final Senate motion that advanced the package. That is meaningful same-term legislative action tied to the promise. However, the outcome is broader regulatory support for community banks in a housing statute rather than a direct, fully realized guarantee that community banks can more easily issue home loans, and some effects depend on later implementation. This supports partial delivery with effort credit, not full delivery.
