The US House of Representatives passed H.R. 238, the Commodity End-User Relief Act, a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the US CFTC. Although the bill largely mirrors previous legislation to reauthorize the CFTC, it included several regulatory reforms, including a provision regarding the regulation of cross-border swaps, and a provision that would require the CFTC to vote in order to change the current de minimis swap dealer registration threshold of $8 billion.
