Jeb Hensarling

The Senate bill is a huge win for the banking industry, but there are still plenty of unresolved legislative issues of interest to financial institutions.

The bill passed by the House took a more cautious approach to relief than prior legislative proposals but has still been hailed by banking industry groups.

The soon-to-be-retiring chair of the House Financial Services Committee said Senate leaders have made a "commitment" to consider more changes.

After months of delay, the House is planning to vote on legislation next week that would amend the Dodd-Frank Act.

The House affirmed this week that it would move forward with a vote on a Senate bill overhauling parts of Dodd-Frank, but how far lawmakers push additional relief proposals is still unclear.

Bill supporters say the guidance — which held indirect auto lenders liable for unintentional discrimination at partner dealerships — violated Dodd-Frank, but consumer advocates say the legislation would expose minority borrowers to mistreatment.

Speaker Paul Ryan said the House will vote on Dodd-Frank reform legislation that originated in the Senate, but additional House reg relief measures are still on the table.

The public face of the Trump administration's revamp of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is by no means working alone.

The group made its plea in a petition, signed by over 10,000 community bank employees, urging lawmakers to quickly move a bill rather than subject the process to "further delay or inaction."

Which party controls the House next year is still uncertain, but this much is clear: Someone other than Texas Republican Jeb Hensarling will hold the gavel on the Financial Services Committee.

Wells may have tried to lure 401(k) customers into more expensive IRAs; Hensarling says he will go along with Senate version of Dodd-Frank rollback.

The details about political donations to over a dozen lawmakers raise fresh questions about the payday lending sector's influence in Washington.

The senior GOP lawmaker appeared to acknowledge concerns that expanding the bill could harm Democratic support.

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer said Tuesday that he's interested in the panel's top spot when Chairman Jeb Hensarling retires at the end of the year.

The legislation would prohibit the CFPB from penalizing institutions that rely in good faith on guidance from the bureau.

The Senate voted Wednesday to block guidance issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2013 that was meant to stop discriminatory markups on indirect loans made by car dealers.

The bill, which also exempts community banks from the trading ban named for former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, would go a step further than the regulatory relief bill that passed the Senate.

In his first of two Capitol Hill hearings this week, Democrats hammered the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for ignoring what they view as the agency's core purpose.

House Speaker Paul Ryan's decision not to seek re-election is another sign of the difficulties Republicans will likely face in holding the chamber in November, heightening pressure to move a pending regulatory relief bill as soon as possible.
