The Hill, March 13, 2018: Hensarling says he’s not holding talks on Senate banking bill
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said he’s not holding talks with key senators on making changes to a banking bill set to pass the Senate this week.
The Senate bill faces opposition from House conservatives who want the measure to include more input from the lower chamber.
K Street sources told The Hill that the bill faces a growing chance of dying in the House unless senators agree to go to a conference with the House.
House conservatives have long been skeptical of the Senate package, which they say doesn’t go far enough to rein in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law.
