WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) announced today that, S.2155, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, has been signed into law by President Donald Trump.  Sen.

“For almost a decade, community banks and credit unions have been shackled by the tremendous regulatory burden of Dodd-Frank.  That’s why bipartisan lawmakers from the House and Senate came together to craft legislation that protects consumers while helping small businesses and rural communities rebuild and grow,” said Sen. Kennedy.  “I am proud to be a part of this historic moment, and I am grateful that President Trump has signed our bill into law.”
