Fresh off lawmakers' August break, the chairmen of two House Financial Services subcommittees are gearing up to take a fine-tooth comb on Thursday to the goings-on at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and zero in on "Legislative Proposals for a More Efficient Regulatory Regime."
Among the six bills to be considered by the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee is the Systemic Risk Designation Improvement Act of 2017, which amends the Dodd-Frank Act's classification of financial institutions that are considered a systemic risk.
The Capital Markets, Securities and Investment Subcommittee is expected to tackle in its hearing oversight of FINRA, the self-regulator's current regulatory agenda, the role of self-regulation in the U.S. capital markets, FINRA's SRO structure and its relationship with and oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
