AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a National Infrastructure Bank as a government-chartered corporation to lend money for infrastructure projects such as roads, transit, water systems, energy, broadband, schools, and affordable housing. The bank could raise up to $500 billion in capital, mainly by trading preferred stock for Treasury securities or cash, and could make up to $5 trillion in total loans. It would accept deposits, issue bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and send leftover earnings to a fund that lowers loan costs for disadvantaged communities. A 25-member board appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate would run the bank. The bill would also exempt the bank from federal income tax, treat contributions to it as charitable donations, and make dividends on its preferred stock tax-free.
