Senate Democrats united to pass a financial regulatory bill that allows the government to collect data on any person operating in financial markets at any level, including the collection of personal transaction records from local banks, including customers addresses and ATM receipts.
The Senate voted 59-39 on Thursday to pass the bill the chief aim of which is to more-heavily regulate the financial industry sending it to a conference committee in the House of Representatives, where differences between the House and Senate versions will be ironed out.
The bill, if it becomes law, will create the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and empower it to gather information and activities of persons operating in consumer financial markets, including the names and addresses of account holders, ATM and other transaction records, and the amount of money kept in each customers account.
