Significant Portions Of Dodd-Frank, Including The Fiduciary Rule. In
June 2017, Fitzpatrick voted for the Financial Choice Act. According to
NPR, "House Republicans voted Thursday to deliver on their promise to
repeal Dodd-Frank --- the massive set of Wall Street regulations
President Barack Obama signed into law after the 2008 financial crisis.
In a near party-line vote, the House approved a bill, dubbed the
Financial Choice Act, which scales back or eliminates many of the
post-crisis banking rules." The vote was on passage. The House passed
the bill by a vote of 233 to 186. The Senate took no substantive action
on the legislation. [House Vote 299,
