What's in the Senate financial regulation bill?

March 9, 2018

By The Wall Street Journal

The Senate will vote next week on a bill that would make the largest changes to financial regulatory law since 2010, when the Dodd-Frank Act passed. Opponents say the bill cuts protections against consumer abuses and financial crises. Supporters say it will help small lenders without undoing Dodd-Frank’s core. A summary of Senate Bill 2155, as updated on March 7 by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R., Idaho), can help readers decide for themselves. Read the original story from The Wall Street Journal.
