It's mainly 3 semi-related parts stapled together. If the person/business/bank is complying with the law:
- 1a) Banks with > $10 billion are blocked from (i) the Fed's discount window lending program, & (ii) the Automated Clearing House Network, if they refuse to do business with them,
- 1b) Banks are required to accept deposits from them & law-complying member banks,
- 1c) The board of directors of banks/credit unions have to notify the state/fed if said access blocking happens,
- 2) (Section 5) Payment networks can't refuse service to them, &
