The update introduces new binding obligations (biennial legal opinion updates, specified points of law) with a May 1, 2027 effective date. While still in consultation phase, it signals concrete regulatory expectations for a defined set of large banks and carries material compliance implications for capital and loss-absorption capacity management.
