On June 12, 2017, the U.S. Treasury Department released a 150-page report (the Report) that recommends revamping many of the rules for banks and other financial services firms put in place after the 2008 financial crisis through the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank). While some in Washington believed that the Report would simply recommend unwinding Dodd-Frank, the Report is being received as a serious effort to put forth good-faith proposals to improve the financial regulatory ecosystem and a valuable contribution to the debate over financial regulatory reform.
