EXAMINING THE SEC’S BEST INTEREST RULE Thursday, March 14, 2019 U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCOMMITTEE ON INVESTOR PROTECTION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND CAPITAL MARKETS, COMMITTEE ON FINANCIAL SERVICES, Washington, D.C. The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:35 a.m., in room 2128, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Carolyn B. Maloney [chairwoman of the subcommittee] presiding. Members present: Representatives Maloney, Sherman, Himes, Foster, Vargas, Gottheimer, Porter, Casten, Ocasio-Cortez; Huizenga, Stivers, Wagner, Hill, Mooney, Davidson, and Hollings- worth. Ex officio present: Representatives Waters and McHenry. Also present: Representative Barr. Chairwoman MALONEY. The Subcommittee on Investor Protec- tion, Entrepreneurship, and Capital Markets will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess of the subcommittee at any time. Also, without objection, members of the full Financial Services Committee who are not members of this subcommittee are authorized to participate in today’s hearing. Today’s hearing is entitled, ‘‘Putting Investors First? Examining the SEC’s Best Interest Rule.’’ I now recognize myself for 5 minutes to give an opening state- ment. Today, we are examining the SEC’s proposed Regulation Best In- terest, known as Reg BI. This proposal addresses the legal stand- ard that brokers should be subjected to when they provide retail investors with personalized investment advice. This issue has roots going back decades. But for this rule, the story really starts in 2010 with the Dodd-Frank Act. When we were writing Dodd-Frank, there was a huge debate about whether bro- kers and investment advisers who provide advice to retail investors should be subject to a uniform fiduciary rule. And in the House bill, we did subject brokers to the same exact fiduciary rule that investment advisers are already subject to. We said that the SEC shall write rules ensuring that brokers who ad- vise retail investors are subject to the legal standard that ‘‘shall be the same as the standard of conduct applicable to an investment adviser.’’ (1) VerDate Nov 24 2008 17:14 Aug 14, 2019 Jkt 095071 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 K:\DOCS\HBA073.160 TERRI 2 But the Senate took a different approach. They said that the SEC should first conduct a comprehensive study of whether a uni- form fiduciary rule is appropriate for brokers and advisers. And then if the SEC’s study found that a uniform fiduciary duty is appropriate, the SEC would be required to write a rule imple- menting the results of the study within 2 years. And in fact, the author of that Senate provision was Senator Crapo, who is now the Chair of the Senate Banking Committee. The final version of Dodd-Frank required the SEC to conduct the study and then simply authorized the SEC to

  • COVID-19 Legislative Update
    COVID-19 Legislative Update June 29, 2020 Legislation Supplemental IV Timeline/Process/Politics: While Congress has been focused on infrastructure, police reform, the FY21 NDAA, movement toward the next supplemental has stalled. However, over the weekend, Senate Republican appropriators have begun to seriously consider what to include in the next package. As the federal boost to unemployment insurance ends July 31, lawmakers will attempt to put something on the floor before August. It should not be forgotten that the most recent supplemental, which only focused on the Paycheck Protection Program and its funding, took multiple weeks to negotiate. August looms large. Policy: While the Heroes Act will not be taken up by the Senate (as Sen. McConnell has indicated), it can serve as a marker of what the Senate will be responding to. Heroes Act text (as of 5/12/2020) here. Section by section here. One pager here. State and Local one pager here. NCAI’s summary on tribal provisions here. Manager’s amendment here. House Rules Committee report here. While we have yet to see what plan Senate Republicans will propose that threads the needle on liability protection, we’ve seen a bipartisan bill in the House on the issue from Reps. Garret Graves (R-LA) and Henry Cuellar (D-TX). However, Democrats have been disregarding that proposal and have looked to Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA) to take the lead or at least be involved in whatever compromise comes out on liability protection.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below. AL-1: Republican Jerry Carl beat Democrat James Averhart (open seat) Carl has served a member of the Mobile County Commission since 2012.
