Today the House of Representatives passed the Regulatory Accountability Act, H.R. 3010, by a vote of 253-167. No Republicans voted against it; 19 Democrats voted for it. The general expectation is that the bill will not advance in the Senate, and the White House has threatened a veto if it does, so the ultimate fate of the legislation will likely turn on the results of the 2012 elections.
