Two separate United States laws are known as the
Glass-Steagall Act. The Acts (Glass & Steagall) were both reactions of the U.S. government to cope with the economic problems which followed the Wall Street Crash 1929.
Both bills were sponsored by
United States Democratic Party United States Senate
Carter Glass of
Lynchburg, Virginia, a former United States Secretary of the Treasury, and Democratic
United States Congress Henry B. Steagall of
Alabama, Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Banking and Currency.
First Glass Steagall Act of February 1932
This act allowed that government obligations as well as commercial paper can be used as reserve in banks. Due to the
reserve ratio system, banks were able to increase credit, and more money was in circulation. It was signed into law by President Herbert Hoover.
Second Glass-Steagall Act (officially called: Banking Act of 1933) (June 16, 1933)
This act introduced the separation of bank types according to their business (commercial and investment banking), and it founded the Federal Deposit Insurance Company for insuring bank deposits.
Literature in economics usually refers to this Glass Steagall Act, since it had a stronger impact on US banking regulation.
Repeal of the Acts
On November 12,
1999, President
Bill Clinton signed into law the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. One impact of this repeal is that certain advisory activities of the banks are now regulated by the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Emergency Banking Relief Act of 1933
The Emergency Banking Relief Act of 1933 is often confused with the Glass-Steagall Acts, however it was a separate and independent bill.
Signed into law by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 9, 1933, the Act's primary function was to prohibit the hoarding of gold coins, and did so by authorizing the United States Treasury to request all people and companies of the U.S. to send in their gold reserves.
In addition, it ordered that all banks stopped doing business until the Comptroller of the Currency had examined the soundness of such banks and had approved reopening.
