 To provide a retroactive increase in deposit insurance for depositors 
                        in certain institutions.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Investor Deposit Yardstick Act''.

SEC. 2. RETROACTIVE INCREASE IN DEPOSIT INSURANCE.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the increase in the 
standard maximum deposit insurance amount pursuant to section 136(a)(1) 
of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (12 U.S.C. 
5241(a)(1)) shall be extended to include depositors in any institution 
for which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed as 
receiver or conservator on or after January 1, 2008, and before October 
3, 2008. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shall take such 
actions as are necessary to carry out the requirements under section 11 
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1821) with respect to 
such depositors, without regard to any time limitations under such Act. 
In implementing this provision, any payment on a deposit claim made by 
the Corporation as receiver or conservator to a depositor above the 
standard maximum deposit insurance amount in effect at the time of the 
appointment of the Corporation as receiver or conservator shall be 
deemed to be part of the net amount due to the depositor under section 
11(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 
1821(a)(1)(B)).
