Shelby Announces March Banking Committee Schedule

WASHINGTON, DC – Monday, February 23, 2015 – U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, today announced the Committee hearing schedule for the month of March.

 

"The role of the executive branch in regulating the financial sector has grown significantly over the past several years.  In light of this growth, the Banking Committee will closely examine several areas of the government that demand proper oversight," said Chairman Shelby.  "We began the 114th Congress by examining the impact of regulations on community banks and credit unions.  The Committee will now take a deeper look into other areas of the government that should be both transparent and accountable to the American people.  It is my belief that we will discover several areas where there is bipartisan agreement that common-sense reform is needed."
