Regulation Reversal the Ultimate Trump Card?

Three of the most significant areas of recent regulation expansion have been with the Affordable Care Act, the final DOL Fiduciary Rule and the DOL Overtime Rules. A Texas judge issued a preliminary injunction last month blocking the OT rules, and lawmakers have the ACA squarely in their sites. That leaves the fiduciary rule, which might turn out to be the last regulatory gasp for the DOL for some time to come. “This expansionary trend for the DOL is likely to be significantly restricted under the Trump presidency, taking a back seat to agencies more aligned with Trump’s agenda,” Dahl noted.
