Democrats in the Senate push to pass a sweeping 2,300 page bill imposing the sharpest bank and Wall Street rules since the Great Recession.

Regulators will require banks to disclose more, verify borrowers ability to repay, and set new oversight standards while financing the plan with FDIC fee adjustments and bailout funds.
