CFA Urges House Committee on Financial Services to Oppose TAILOR Act

If adopted, the TAILOR Act could allow financial institutions to justify and exploit potentially dangerous loopholes, create confusion in the marketplace and cause unnecessary delays in the adoption of important consumer protections.  Prudential and consumer regulators already have broad discretion in the application of their rulemakings.  The proposal, review and comment process is the appropriate means through which particular accommodations should be considered, as they have been throughout the development of regulations under Dodd-Frank.  Thus, CFA urges committee members to vote no on H.R. 2896 and any amendments.
