Senate Slated to Roll Back Key Dodd-Frank Financial Regulations
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Senate is slated to roll back key financial regulations passed in
the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. A new bill, which will come up
for a procedural vote this week, would exempt 25 of the nation's 40
largest banks from being subject to heightened scrutiny by the Federal
Reserve. If it passes, it would be the biggest weakening of the
Dodd-Frank Act since it was signed into law in 2010.
