Today, the U.S. Senate voted to pass S.J. Resolution 33, which would rescind the Department of Labor’s recently finalized fiduciary rule.
The resolution passed by a 56 to 41 margin, with three Democrats -- Sens. Donnelly, IN, Heitkamp, ND, and Tester, MT -- joining Republicans in support of blocking the DOL’s implementation of the rule, which will begin to phase in April of 2017.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a similar resolution along party lines in April, just weeks after the rule was finalized.
