Ed Perlmutter: “I think this is an important bill.”

I think will bring a lot of fruit to bear in terms of suggestions that we had and have about modernizing and improving the way this place functions...

I absolutely agree. I think we are up to 600, 700 pages of Ethics provisions... some things that are going to be needed, and there are going to be some things that... need to be cleaned up.

And I want to thank the panel and all your colleagues for your persistence and your perseverance with this project because it had a few ups and downs over the course of its life.

This committee has heard reports of modern-day redlining, high and misleading fees, and unfair use of credit scores.
