3 Where They Stand on Financial Reform

Introduction

Five years after the financial crisis and three years after passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, most voters, regardless of party, remain convinced of the need for strong regulation of Wall Street. Unlike the electorate, however, Congress is divided: while some legislators continue to press for bank accountability, much of the recent legislative attention to these matters, especially in the House of Representatives, has taken the form of efforts to roll back or weaken new rules.

In fact, the only financial-regulation measures to come to a vote last year―the first year of the 113th Congress ―were a series of industry-backed bills in the House designed to undo financial reform provisions of Dodd-Frank or undermine the agencies responsible for their implementation.

One likely goal of most of these proposals was to intimidate regulators, and many undoubtedly had that effect. Certainly rule-writing has proceeded slowly, and in many cases weakly. The good news for reform, however, is that none of the industry-backed bills became law, while a number of the rules targeted for repeal or rollback did in fact get completed in 2013.

There were positive developments on the appointments front. After a two-year standoff, the Senate voted to approve Richard Cordray as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). That vote, by ending an unprecedented effort to use the confirmation process to weaken his agency, reaffirmed one of the signal achievements of the financial reform struggle to date.

The Senate also confirmed the appointment of Representative Mel Watt as Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). This powerful agency (the overseer of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) had long been led by a holdover acting director who failed to implement common sense policies to help struggling homeowners and ensure broader access to credit. Advocates had pushed for Director Watt’s confirmation in order to refocus the FHFA on protecting homeowners and making homeownership fairer, safer and more accessible.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) was under sustained attack last year, with a striking number of legislators supporting Wall Street’s efforts to roll back reform. Under former Chairman Gary Gensler, this badly under-funded agency nonetheless managed to finish writing almost all the core rules for regulating the derivatives markets. In the process, the Commission rejected demands for blanket exemptions that would have let banks escape coverage by routing dangerous trades through offshore subsidiaries.

In 2013, legislation was introduced to repeal a section of the Dodd-Frank law requiring publicly held companies to disclose the ratio of their CEO’s pay to that of their median employees. (The bill was approved by the Financial Services Committee; it did not receive a floor vote.) The Securities and Exchange Commission has since come out with a proposed rule, as Dodd-Frank mandated.

This report examines some of the bills, amendments, and motions that gave Senators and House members a chance last year to show where they stood on protecting investors, consumers, and borrowers (as opposed to the financial industry), and on strengthening the stability of the financial system. We begin by summarizing a representative selection of proposals, linked in each case to the official text and the record of relevant votes taken. We refer to votes on the House or Senate floor, or, in the case of some House bills that did not reach the floor, to votes in the House Financial Services Committee

Together, these summaries and charts tell the story of an important set of choices made by members of the 113

th

Congress.

Powers and Authority of The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

On July 16th, the Senate confirmed Richard Cordray as Director of the CFPB. For nearly two years, a filibuster threat had blocked a vote on Cordray’s nomination. The goal of opponents, who did not raise any serious questions about his qualifications for the job, was to use the confirmation process as leverage to weaken the Bureau, principally by changing its governance structure and making it subject to annual appropriations, unlike other financial regulators. Meanwhile, the House advanced a series of stand-alone bills to bring about the same destructive changes that the Bureau’s Senate opponents demanded.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Responsible Consumer Financial Protection Regulations Act - HR 2446, Roll Call #40.This bill would place the CFPB under a five-member board instead of a single director. Such boards – whose members are customarily chosen by party leaders on both sides of the aisle – are very unlikely to have a majority of strong consumer advocates, and can easily succumb to partisan gridlock. They also lack the clear accountability provided by a single director. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), HR 2446 was approved by the House Financial Services Committee on November 20, 2013, by a vote of 31-21.

Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Accountability and Transparency Act - HR 3519, Roll Call #42HR 3519 includes the same change in the CFPB’s HR 3519 includes the same change in the CFPB’s governance structure as HR 2446; eliminates the Bureau’s stable source of funding, subjecting it, unlike other bank regulators, to annual appropriations; and makes it easier for the Financial Stability Oversight Council to overturn the CFPB actions. The combined effect of these provisions would be to undermine the CFPB’s ability to protect consumers. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex.), HR 3519 was approved on November 20,

2013, by a 32-24 vote in the House Financial Services Committee.

SENATE

Motion to Invoke Cloture on Nomination of Richard Cordray to Lead CFPB – Roll Call #173This vote set the stage for the Senate to confirm former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, who was already serving as the CFPB’s Director on the basis of a recess appointment. AFR supported cloture.

Cloture was invoked on July 16, 2013, by a vote of 71-29.

Confirmation Vote on Richard Cordray’s Nomination – Roll Call #174After invoking cloture, the Senate voted to confirm Richard Cordray’s appointment to a full five-year term as Director. AFR supported confirmation.

The nomination was approved on July 16, 2013, by a vote of 66-34.

Protecting Investors and the Capital Markets

In the runup to the 2008 financial meltdown, investors were kept in the dark about the nature of many of the assets that Wall Street was selling. The Dodd-Frank Act took a number of steps to make the capital markets more transparent and to protect investors. One provision of the law, for example, authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission to insist that brokers look out for the financial best interests of their clients. In 2013, Congress considered a number of industry measures to roll back transparency or accountability.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Retail Investor Protection Act - HR 2374, Roll Call #567Tens of millions of Americans rely on financial professionals for investment advice that will determine whether they can afford to retire or fund their children’s college educations. In too many circumstances, financial advisors are permitted to recommend investments that make more money for them, even while generating less income for the clients they are advising. Over a lifetime, families can easily lose tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of such conflicts of interest.

HR 2374 would derail a Department of Labor (DOL) effort to close major loopholes in fiduciary responsibilities that should protect investors moving money out of IRAs and in other circumstances. The bill would also make it harder for the SEC to raise the standard of conduct for brokers giving advice to retail investors. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), HR 2374 passed the house by a vote of 254-166 on October 29, 2013.

Small Business Capital Access and Job Preservation Act - HR 1105, Roll Call #622“Private equity” funds specialize in leveraged buyouts, which involve the takeover of companies using small amounts of investor equity and large amounts of debt.

Until Dodd-Frank, these funds operated with virtually no oversight, despite managing trillions of dollars of investor capital and playing a large role in the financial and employment markets. This legislation would exempt nearly all private equity fund advisers from Dodd-Frank reporting requirements. Regulators would be denied access to even the most basic data involving business practices, fees, and conflicts of interest. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Rep. Robert Hurt (R-Va.), HR 1105 passed the House by a vote of 254-159 on December 4, 2013.

Burdensome Data Collection Relief Act - HR 1135, Roll Call #23.Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly traded companies to disclose the ratio of their CEO’s compensation to their median employee’s compensation. The aim of the law was to give investors easy access to a basic fact about a company’s compensation structure, and to help investors and others evaluate a company’s long-term soundness in light of evidence that out-of-control pay at the top breeds cynicism and opportunism up and down the line. (On 9/18/13, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a proposed rule implementing this provision.)

HR 1135 would repeal Section 953(b). AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.), HR 1135 was approved on June 19, 2013 by a 36-21 vote of the House Financial Services Committee.

Housing Market Reform

The Federal Housing Finance Agency, created to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has the potential to play a major positive role in preventing needless foreclosures and addressing the need for affordable housing―including both homeownership and rental housing―in communities across the country.

For the first five years of the Obama administration, however, the FHFA was led by a holdover acting director who blocked policies to assist struggling homeowners or address the nation’s need for sustainable, affordable ownership and rental housing.

SENATE

Cloture Vote on Nomination of Melvin L. Watt to Lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency – Roll Call #251In April 2013, President Obama nominated Representative Melvin L. Watt for the job of FHFA Director. On October 31, a motion to end debate and bring the nomination to the floor fell short, with 56 Senators voting for cloture and 42 against. Three weeks later, with multiple nominations of qualified candidates held up, the Senate changed its rules to allow a simple majority to bring executive-branch nominations to a vote, setting the stage for an up-or-down vote on Representative Watt’s nomination. AFR supported cloture.

Cloture was invoked on December 20, 2013, by a vote of 56-42.

Confirmation Vote on Melvin L. Watt’s Nomination – Roll Call #252After invoking cloture, the Senate voted to confirm Representative Watt’s appointment.

The nomination was approved on December 20, 2013, by a vote of 57-41.

Systemic Risk / Derivatives Reform

Huge volumes of opaque and essentially unregulated derivatives deals were at the center of the financial crisis. In response, the Dodd-Frank Act requires banks, insurance companies, hedge funds and other financial institutions to submit standardized derivatives to clearinghouses and post margin to back their bets; provide market participants with access to real-time pricing data so they can shop around for the best deals; and give regulators the information they need to oversee risky activities and prevent fraud. The law also moved to curtail Wall Street’s ability to gamble with taxpayer-backed funds, by, among other things, requiring some derivatives dealing to be moved out to separately capitalized entities.

Derivatives dealing remains a major source of profit for the largest banks that dominate the market, and they have aggressively sought both to exempt as much of this activity as possible from the new rules, and to undermine the resources and enforcement powers of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which has most of the oversight responsibility.

HOUSE

Swaps Jurisdiction Certainty Act - HR 1256, Roll Call #218By reducing the ability of U.S. regulators to oversee transactions between overseas affiliates of U.S. banks, HR 1256 would effectively create a significant loophole

Underfunding = Backdoor DeregulationOver-the-counter derivatives or “swaps” were at the heart of the financial crisis. Under the terms of the Dodd-Frank Act, the task of regulating them falls mainly to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). But the CFTC has yet to receive anything like the resources it would need to do the job it has been handed.

For FY 2013, the Obama administration proposed―and the Senate initially passed―a CFTC budget of $308 million. The House, however, gave the CFTC only $180.4 million in funding, $35 million less than its 2012 appropriation; and the Commission actually wound up with $195 million as a result of the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration, which took effect after the two chambers failed to reach an overall budget agreement.

“Woefully understaffed, underfunded, and outmatched” is how Bloomberg BusinessWeek described the Commission in October 2013. “All the work we’ve done up to now,” outgoing CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler told Bloomberg, “is at risk because we don’t have enough budget resources.”

The CFTC was on the brink of ordering long-term layoffs when, in January 2014, Congress approved an FY2014 budget that undid most of the sequester cuts. Even then, the CFTC got just $215 million―one third less than the administration had proposed.

Here are a few yardsticks of comparison:

• $1.04 billion - annual budget of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

• $2.4 billion - annual budget of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

• $59.5 billion – estimated annual technology spending of U.S. banks. That’s roughly 275 times the total CFTC budget.

House leaders have said they are just looking out for the public purse. But this is a very small agency, and one that could be funded without budget impact, if that was in fact the issue - through tiny fees on the institutions it regulates, as most other financial regulators are, and as the Obama administration has proposed in part. It is also worth noting that in recent years the Commission has collected far more in fines―roughly $2 billion last year―than it receives in tax dollars.

in the new structure of derivatives regulation. The major Wall Street banks already transact well over half of their swaps business through overseas subsidiaries; the UK has been the venue of some of the worst swaps-related problems of recent years, including JPMorgan Chase’s “London Whale” debacle and the massive recklessness that led to the $160 billion taxpayer bailout of AIG.

HR 1256 would be an invitation to shift even more of this activity offshore. It would encourage a “race to the bottom,” driving the global swaps business to locations with lax regulation, and undermining efforts to make those markets safer. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Scott Garrett (R-N.J.), HR 1256 passed the House by a vote of 301-124 on June 12, 2013.

Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act – HR 992, Roll Call #569HR 992 would effectively repeal the Dodd-Frank Act provision known as the “swaps pushout” rule, which directs banks to shift much of their large-scale derivatives dealing into separately funded subsidiaries. The pushout rule requires derivatives trades to be backed by adequate private investment capital, removing them more clearly from the public safety net. Although the statute already carves out a number of exemptions to this general rule, HR 992 goes much further, leaving almost none of the market still subject to the provision. The New York Times reported (after the vote) that most of the bill had been drafted by a lobbyist for Citibank. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Randy Hultgren (R-Ill.), HR 992 passed the House by a vote of 292-122 on October 30, 2013.

Inter-Affiliate Swap Clarification Act - HR 677, Roll Call 13 This legislation would undermine and undermine and limit the scope of the Dodd-Frank Act’s rules for derivatives-market transparency and safety, by exempting transactions between companies or subsidiaries sharing even limited levels of common ownership. from Regulators had already allowedreduced requirements for many inter-affiliate swaps to escape oversight; this bill proposes (I THINK HAVE GENERALLY BEEN USING PRESENT TENSEa far broader exclusion. The effect would be to significantly constrict regulators’ ability to police the derivatives markets. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), HR 677 was approved on March 20, 2013, by a voice vote of the Agriculture Committee, and, on May 7, by a recorded vote of 50-10 in the Financial Services Committee.

Resources and Authority of Financial Regulators

HOUSE

SEC Regulatory Accountability Act - HR 1062, Roll Call #160HR 1062 would tie the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) up in procedural knots by directing it, for example, to separately assess the costs and benefits of all “available regulatory alternatives” to any proposed rule; this requirement alone could add dozens of analyses to what is already a long process. The SEC is already required to conduct an economic analysis of every rule it issues, specifically evaluating the impact on capital formation, market efficiency, and competition. AFR opposed.

Introduced by Representative Scott Garrett (R-NJ), HR 1062 passed the House by a vote of 235-161 on May 17, 2013.

SENATE

Cost-benefit Amendment to Budget Bill – S. Amendment #340, Vote #79This amendment would require financial regulators to conduct expensive, time-consuming, imprecise and, in some cases, impossible forms of analysis. It would further delay the extremely slow progress of the reforms needed to make the financial system safer and more transparent. Financial oversight agencies are already required by statute to analyze and weigh the economic costs and benefits of their regulations; they must also consider comments from affected businesses, other market participants and the public. AFR opposed.

Proposed by Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), this budget amendment was rejected by a Senate vote of 47-52 on March 23, 2013.

40 Where They Stand on Financial Reform

Americans for Financial Reform is a nonpartisan and nonprofit coalition of more than 200 civil rights, consumer, labor, business, investor, faith-based, and civic and community groups. Formed in the wake of the 2008 crisis, we are working to lay the policy foundation for a strong, stable, and ethical financial system – one that serves the economy and the country as a whole. Through policy analysis, education, and outreach to our members and others, AFR builds public will for its policy goals. A separate project, the AFR Activism Fund, pursues the same objectives through a range of nonpartisan advocacy activities. AFR is a project of The Leadership Conference Education Fund (a 501C3). The AFR Activism Fund is a project of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (a 501C4). Neither the Leadership Conference nor the AFR Activism Fund receives tax-deductible contributions.
