This is a follow-up on Lybecker’s article in ECL Volume 6, Issue 5, about financial reform in the US. On 11 December 2009 the US House of Representatives approved the so-called Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009. Although work in the US Senate, in particular by its Committee on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, has not yet proceeded as far as the work in the House, this contribution discusses the main features of the Act as approved by the House.
