President Signs Historic Wall Street Reform Bill
On July 21, U.S. PIRG staff were invited guests to watch President Obama sign the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was passed after a year-long campaign we helped lead. Go to our new "Wall Street Reform: What's In It for You?" page for more information.
The bill reins in Wall Street and protects consumers, investors, and taxpayers from further financial meltdowns.
The landmark bill includes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is the biggest consumer protection reform since the creation of deposit insurance after the 1929 crash.
