On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, will begin hearings on the Financial Choice Act (Choice Act), House Republicans’ plan for replacing Dodd-Frank. The Choice Act is a marked improvement over Dodd-Frank, passed in 2010 by the Democratic Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama, in response to the financial crisis of 2008.

A well-functioning financial services industry is vital to continued American prosperity. Thankfully the Choice Act offers a strong alternative to Dodd-Frank and the regulatory morass it created.
