The Senate Banking Committee minority release says Josh Hawley joined Elizabeth Warren and others in reintroducing the Failed Bank Executives Clawback Act of 2026. It says the bill would require the FDIC to claw back all or part of compensation large bank executives received over the three-year period before a bank failure, and quotes Hawley supporting putting executives' own profits on the line.

The bill text lists Ms. Warren introducing the measure for herself and Mr. Hawley, among others. It defines covered compensation to include salary, bonuses, performance-based compensation, equity-based compensation, time- or service-based awards, nonfinancial-metric awards, and securities-trading profits, and requires clawbacks from covered parties at failed insured depository institutions with more than $10 billion in assets.
Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting limits on bank-executive pay, not necessarily enacting a completed statutory change. During the Senate term following the 2024 campaign, Hawley directly joined and publicly backed the Failed Bank Executives Clawback Act of 2026, which would require clawbacks of compensation from executives at failed large banks. That is concrete legislative support for the promised policy within the relevant federal office context.
