House Ag Committee Passes Bill to Increase CFTC Oversight

摘要

The U.S. House Agriculture Committee voted last week to send legislation (H.R. 977) that would give the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission greater oversight in reviewing and monitoring over-the-counter markets to the full House for consideration. The bill was introduced by the committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) and easily passed by a voice vote after brief consideration of a handful of amendments, most of which aimed to clarify or change the bill's language.
