Regulatory Reform 10 Years After the Financial Crisis: Dodd-Frank and Securities Law [April 13, 2918]

摘要

From 2007-2009, the United States experienced what many commentators believe was the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. In the wake of the crisis, Congress passed the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) in 2010. Title IX of DoddFrank, entitled 'Investor Protections and Improvements to the Regulation of Securities,' focuses on the powers and authorities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and authorizes the SEC to promulgate certain rules intended to enhance corporate accountability and corporate governance. This report discusses recent developments with respect to two aspects of Title IX, including legislative proposals such as the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017 (H.R. 10, 115th Cong.) that would change or repeal aspects of Title IX.
