Establishes procedures for the certification of financial services holding companies. Requires any company seeking such certification to submit a notice to the Federal Reserve Board. States that certification shall become effective within 30 days following the receipt of the notice by the Board, unless: (1) certification is denied; or (2) the approval period is extended an additional 30 days. States that certification may be denied if the company: (1) engages in activities which are not "financially-related"; or (2) is controlled by another company (with specified exceptions). Requires any CFSHC seeking to establish or acquire an additional bank holding company to follow specified procedures of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and the National Housing Act. Allows the Board to disapprove a proposal for such acquisition if the proposed acquisition or new activity would cause the CFSHC to fail to meet the activity limitations of this Act. Allows the Board to establish: (1) periodic reporting requirements; and (2) penalties for violations of this Act. Establishes procedures for the judicial review of Board actions. Makes conforming amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Amends the Banking Act of 1933 to exempt CFSHCs from specified prohibitions regarding securities.
