Senate Sends Historic Financial Services Regulatory Reform Legislation to the President for Signature
Earlier this afternoon the Senate passed the final version of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The legislation was approved by a vote of 60 to 39, and now heads to the White House to be signed by President Obama. With his signature, the president will have enacted the most sweeping reforms of our nation’s financial services regulatory structure since the Great Depression and achieved one of his top legislative priorities.
