Happening Today: House Financial Services Committee to Markup CFPB Bills; Cordray to Testify Before Senate Banking Committee

The House Financial Services Committee will meet today to vote on six CFPB reform bills. The bills would reform the Consumer Financial Civil Penalty Fund, require an independent inspector general for the CFPB, apply the Federal Advisory Committee Act to CFPB committee meetings, create a Small Business Advisory Board within the bureau, require transparency in CFPB research and require a notice-and-comment period prior to CFPB guidance being issued.

Today, CFPB Director Cordray will appear before the Senate Banking Committee to present the agency's semi-annual report to Congress.
