Authored by Bryan Bashur Republican control of the U.S. House, Senate, and executive branch opens the opportunity to repeal several financial regulations under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). In 1996, the CRA was enacted as a part of the larger Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. This statute authorizes Congress to introduce joint resolutions of disapproval to nullify final rules that have been published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress.
