The House Financial Services Committee approved several bills Thursday designed to boost the private flood insurance market.

Housing finance reform discussions are heating up and there's a growing sense that legislation can be enacted sooner rather than later. Here's why.

For Democrats, the scandal is a prominent symbol of big-bank misbehavior, while Republicans want to use it to show the shortcomings of the CFPB.

CFPB Director Richard Cordray took issue with a House Republican report that said he lied about his agency's role in investigating the Wells Fargo phony-accounts scandal.

Ahead of the House vote Thursday on the Financial Choice Act, the two parties were assailing each other as proxies for Wall Street and painting themselves as defenders of community banking and the consumer.

A GOP House Financial Services Committee report alleges that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray lied about the bureau's investigation into the Wells Fargo scandal.

A bill to overhaul the Dodd-Frank Act could get a vote in the full House as early as June 7.

The Congressional Budget Office said only community banks would choose to hold higher capital in return for fewer rules while lowering its estimate of cost savings of eliminating new FDIC resolution powers.

The House Financial Services Committee approved the Financial Choice Act by 34 to 26. While it has enough support to clear the GOP-controlled House, it is unlikely to gain traction in the Senate.

The House Financial Services Committee began debate Tuesday on a sweeping regulatory reform bill, yet while it is expected to pass on party lines, few expect it to stand a chance in the Senate.

The new Democratic strategy to block GOP Dodd-Frank rewrite is to give it more airtime.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's upcoming report on how to rewrite financial regulation is likely to end up looking very similar to a Dodd-Frank overhaul plan in the House.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling said they believed an agreement on housing finance reform could be struck in this Congress.

Democrats drew a line in the sand Wednesday, opposing a provision in a GOP bill that would allow banks to comply with fewer rules in exchange for holding more capital.

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.

Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee barraged the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Wednesday with accusations that the agency is corrupt, as they tried to lay the groundwork for President Trump to remove the director for cause.

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.
