The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (Pub.L. 115–174 (text) (PDF), S. 2155) was signed into United States federal law by President Donald Trump on May 24, 2018.[1][2][3][4] The bill eases regulations imposed by Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act after the financial crisis of 2007–2008, by raising the threshold to $250 billion from $50 billion under which banks are deemed too big to fail.[5] The bill also eliminated the Volcker Rule for small banks with less than $10 billion in assets.[6]
The Act was the most significant change to U.S. banking regulations since Dodd–Frank.[5][7][8]
