Featured article: Dodd-Frank Act

President Barack Obama shakes hands with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after the signing of the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, also known as the Dodd-Frank Act, is a financial regulation law passed on July 21, 2010. The stated purpose of the law was "to promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end 'too big to fail,' to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other purposes." The Dodd-Frank Act provided for the creation or merger of various federal agencies; in addition, the law introduced changes to the nation's financial regulatory structure.
