On Wednesday, the House of Representatives approved resolutions reducing a $ 5 ceiling on most of the bank overdraft costs and reversing a rule that would have given a federal regulator of higher surveillance powers on payment applications managed by large technological companies.
The limit of discovery costs was struck off from 217 to 211, with representative Ryan Mackenzie de Pennsylvania the only republican to join the dissent of Democrats.
The rule granting government supervision on the payment applications of technological companies was canceled 219 to 211, the Republicans voting to eliminate the rule and the United Democrats in opposition.
The Senate approved parallel resolutions last month, so they are now going to President Trump for his signature.
If Mr. Trump signs them, as expected, the actions will leave two rules which were established at the end of the Biden administration by the financial protection office of consumers, which monitors lenders and applies consumer protection laws.
The legislators voted to eliminate the two rules through the Congressional Review Act, a 1996 law which allows legislators to overthrow recently adopted regulations with a simple majority vote.
