The House GOP has signaled that it is ready to move forward on its Dodd-Frank Act replacement plan.

A new Republican plan to streamline Dodd-Frank's capital rules, stress tests and many other requirements will be reintroduced in the coming weeks by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling.

A Senate Republican effort to use an obscure process to restructure the CFPB could derail any bipartisan agreement on targeted changes to the Dodd-Frank Act.

Observers are divided over whether National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn's support for a modernized Glass-Steagall Act is purely opportunistic or sincere.

Although the Dodd-Frank Act made some positive changes, the weight of its regulations is killing small banks, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said Tuesday.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo acknowledged Thursday that a broad Dodd-Frank relief package is likely out of reach, but said targeted reforms could still pass.

With slim odds of getting eight Democrats to support major Dodd-Frank Act reforms, Republicans are turning to other measures to make changes to the 2010 reform law.

The Trump administration is seeking to immediately shut down the Treasury Department’s grant programs for community development financial institutions.

House Republicans’ failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act — an issue that has animated the party caucus since its passage in 2010 — has thrown into question their ability to enact regulatory relief.

The groups and industry trade associations want the Treasury Department and the FHFA to allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to build up capital reserves.

Implementation of the second phase of the common securitization platform had been projected for next year, but the anticipated time frame was delayed following "lessons learned" from the first phase.

Though it's too early to have a concrete plan regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the administration is creating a set of principles that it hopes to release in a few months.

The president's budget calls for eliminating the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institution grant program, which often benefits poor and rural consumers in areas that Trump easily carried in the election.

In his meeting with community bankers, President Trump openly pondered the fate of CFPB Director Richard Cordray with his advisers and appeared eager to quickly fix industry concerns through executive orders.

Democratic senators are gearing up for a showdown with Republicans over a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule governing arbitration agreements in financial contracts.

Republicans have opened multiple fronts against the agency, undertaking separate efforts to cut its funding, roll back past and future rules, and make far broader changes.

A vote on a House plan to replace the Dodd-Frank Act may not happen as quickly as originally expected due to limited floor time and other legislative priorities, such as health care reform, that are likely to take precedent.

In President Trump’s first joint address to Congress, he listed several top priorities, including repealing Obamacare and enacting tax reform, but made no mention of reforming the Dodd-Frank Act.

President Trump signed an executive order Friday requiring every agency to establish a task force focused on eliminating unnecessary regulations.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's arbitration rule will likely be overturned by Congress if the agency moves ahead with finalizing it.
