House Ag Committee Approves Financial Regulatory Legislation
News Date January 31, 2012
The House Ag Committee reported out of Committee six pieces of legislation last week that will ultimately allow end-users, such as agricultural producers and co-ops, to avoid overregulation. Namely, the bills will ensure that end-users can continue to use instruments such as derivatives and inter-affiliate transactions without being classified as swap dealers and without the imposition of costly margin requirements.
