Dodd-Frank overhaul doesn't weaken rules put in place to prevent financial crisis: Barney Frank
- The rollback of bank rules doesn't "in any way" weaken regulations for the largest banks, says Dodd-Frank co-author Barney Frank.
- The House passed the measure Tuesday and it now heads to President Trump.

There is "nothing" in the legislation to overhaul Dodd-Frank that diminishes the regulations intended to curb risk-taking by large banks, Democratic former Rep. Barney Frank told CNBC on Tuesday.
The House passed the measure on Tuesday by a vote of 258 to 159. It now heads to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it into law.
"It does not in any way weaken the regulations we put in there for the largest banks or that were there to prevent the kind of crisis we had 10 years ago," said Frank, who co-authored the Dodd-Frank reforms after the financial crisis.
