H.R. 1266 · 114th Congress

Financial Product Safety Commission Act of 2015

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

This bill amends the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 to remove the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from the Federal Reserve System and instead establish an independent Financial Product Safety Commission (FPSC) to regulate the offering and provision of consumer financial products or services.
