State Legislator Assoc. to Entertain Dodd-Frank Repeal Effort Posted by AVCU on 3:07 PM

When it meets in San Antonio during the week of August 8th, the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) will entertain a action entitled "Resolution Supporting the Repeal of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act." It will be submitted to the NCSL's standing committee on Communications, Financial Services & Interstate Commerce.

The proposed resolution essentially sets the 2,300 page Dodd-Frank law as federal intervention on free markets and an infringement on state's rights, among other things. The resolution urges Congress to repel the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. No doubt, it will make for controversial debate during the conference.


The NCSL is a bipartisan organization that serves legislators and staffs of the 50 states. NCSL provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues. Representatives of state legislatures and administrations convene annually to debate and establish agreed upon public policy statements on a variety of issues. Credit unions are typically represented at the event by CUNA staff, who monitors and influences positions being developed in the financial services related committee.
