The legislative act that attempted to minimize the risky investment behavior of banks is the Banking Act of 1933, commonly known as the Glass-Steagall Act. This act established barriers between commercial banking and securities businesses to reduce the risks associated with bank investments. The other options listed either do not specifically address risky investment behaviors or have different purposes.
