By a vote of 233-188, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act yesterday. The bill, often referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act replacement bill, includes an overhaul of the CFPB’s structure and authority and makes significant changes to the rulemaking process followed by the CFPB and federal banking agencies.
As passed by the full House, the bill includes several amendments to the version of the bill passed by the House Financial Services Committee on May 4. One such amendment is the amendment introduced by House Financial Services Committee Chairman, Jeb Hensarling, to strike the provision which purported to repeal the Durbin Amendment. Based on reports we have seen, it does not appear any of the amendments impact the bill’s provisions dealing with the CFPB.
The bill’s fate in the Senate is very uncertain, with most pundits predicting it will not pass the Senate in its current form.
