Financial Regulatory Reform Bill
Last week, by a vote of 60-39, the Senate adopted the Conference Report on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. With the House having already adopted the Conference Report, Dodd-Frank now goes to President Obama to be signed into law. The President is expected to do so this week, probably on Wednesday, June 21. All of the Democratic Senators voted in favor of adopting the Conference Report, except for Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) who had announced previously that he would vote against what he considers to be an insufficiently robust financial regulatory reform package. All Republicans voted against the Conference Report, except for Senators Scott Brown (D-MA), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). To proceed to the vote on final passage, Dodd-Frank had to first obtain 60 votes to end debate on the measure and then obtain 60 votes to dispose of an amendment raising a budgetary point of order that was offered by Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH). Senators Brown, Collins, and Snowe provided the Republican votes required to get to 60 on each vote.

The federal health care reform legislation, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed by the President on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act approved by Congress, signed by the President, will expand the availability of health care coverage to millions of Americans. While some of the measures will be implemented this year, many do not take effect until 2014 and some extend out to 2020.
