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

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

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 holding the chamber in November, heightening pressure to move a pending regulatory relief bill as soon as possible.

Critics of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have long sought to convert its leadership structure from a single director to a five-member commission. Here’s why the idea is dead on arrival.

The House Financial Services Committee chairman's effort to make changes to a Dodd-Frank revision bill could either give him a defining victory or extend his losing streak.

A day after the Senate passed regulatory relief, top House Republicans vowed to have a big say in the final version before the bill heads to the White House. That raised fresh questions about how quickly the Dodd-Frank reforms will become law.

Over 100 Republican lawmakers filed a legal brief Friday backing Mick Mulvaney in the lawsuit challenging his appointment as acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo said he is hopeful that a bipartisan deal to roll back certain Dodd-Frank Act regulations will soon have a vote on the Senate floor.

As a bipartisan regulatory relief bill approaches the finish line in the Senate, the House has mostly stood on the sidelines. But no one expects the lower chamber to just rubber-stamp the deal.

The House Financial Services Committee chairman is calling out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's regulator for authorizing payments to two housing trust funds while the mortgage giants have their own financial struggles.

The legislation, a similar version of which passed in the last Congress, would give favorable regulatory treatment to certain loans even if real estate-related fees were paid to an affiliate of the lender.

Supporters of an unreleased bill to revamp the housing finance system say the plan strikes a middle ground that can gain support from both sides of the aisle.

The agency’s acting director has recruited several conservative staff members who will likely prove instrumental in charting its future.

The Senate Banking Committee is expected soon to release a bipartisan bill that would significantly reshape the housing finance market, but key issues remain unresolved.

Kirsten Sutton Mork, the House Financial Services Committee's staff director, will become chief of staff at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The announcement Thursday that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mel Watt agreed to let Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each build a $3 billion capital buffer avoided a potential crisis.
