With the 114th Congress now officially underway with the Republican Party in control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, ML Strategies will continue our tradition of offering an annual Legislative and Regulatory Outlook for the coming year. We expect to have that completed by January 15. In the meantime, we are providing this preview of what to look for on Capitol Hill and from the Obama Administration.

Legislative Agenda -

The new political dynamics of the Congress will present some intriguing opportunities and challenges over the next two years. Clearly, with control of both chambers, the GOP will be looking to show as a party that it can govern effectively and will place an impetus on bringing up a range of targeted bills that are longstanding priorities for House Republicans and that could now potentially pass the GOP-controlled Senate.
