House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-TX, detailed in a speech a proposal that House Republicans have been working on that would replace the Dodd-Frank Act, including some important changes that would scale back the powers of the CFPB. The bill would shift the agency’s mission to include both consumer protection and maintaining competitive markets, with a cost-benefit analysis of rules performed by an Office of Economic Analysis. Also, it would replace the current single director with a bipartisan, five-member commission which would be subject to congressional oversight and appropriations.
