Welcome to the Regulatory Affairs section of the CSBS web site.

The Regulatory Division is a forceful advocate for the state banking system, providing the state perspective on federal regulatory policy proposals that directly affect state chartered banks and state bank supervisors.  CSBS represents state supervisors on the working groups of the Financial Institutions Examination Council, the coordinating body of the federal banking agencies.  We serve to coordinate among the state banking departments on supervisory related issues.  We also represent state banking agencies’ needs and perspectives on technology issues, particularly the development of automated examination tools including GENESYS, ED and ALERT.  During times of national emergencies, we serve as a critical conduit between state supervisors and the federal government, helping to ensure the continuous operation of the financial services sector.
