House Panel OKs Financial Services Bill
The House Commerce Committee approved a bill to overhaul Depression-era U.S. banking laws and allow banks, brokers and insurers to enter one another’s businesses.

The Republican leadership wants to bring the legislation to the full House before the July 4 recess. .
