Today, Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (NC-10), Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, released the following statement on passage of S. 2155, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act:

“Since Dodd Frank was enacted we’ve seen the cost of borrowing skyrocket, one in five American banks have closed, and it has become harder for American families to access the financial products they need. Today, the House voted to rollback this failed law with passage of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act.

“This bill is a win for consumers, making it cheaper and easier for them to save for college or borrow so they can buy a home. It includes common-sense protections such as allowing Americans the ability to freeze their credit in the case of data breaches or identity theft. This bill is good for small businesses, removing needless regulations and empowering innovative new forms of capital formation like angel investing.

“This bill is an important first step to undo Dodd Frank. I’m proud to have played an active role in drafting this bill and I look forward to seeing President Trump sign it into law soon.”
