Frank Sets Reform Hearing Dates

In hopes of marking up a bill by the end of July, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) has released a tentative hearing schedule to discuss the Obama Administration’s financial services reform plan. According to his committee, Frank is also working to reschedule the postponed hearing with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, which was to occur on June 18, the same day Geithner testified before the Senate Banking Committee. Chairman Frank also noted that members should expect additional hearings and committee meetings on financial regulatory reform in September after the annual August district work period.
