Fitzgerald Passes Legislation Through House Committees

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after passing a number of legislative priorities out of the Financial Services and Oversight Committee markups this week.

"I was proud to see a number of my legislative priorities pass out of the respective committees this week," said Rep. Fitzgerald."These bills covered a range of issues too. We tackled data protection and woke climate policies in banks at the Financial Services Committee. It was also important that the Oversight Committee passed my bill to rename the U.S. postal office in Muskego after Colonel Hans Christian Heg, who was a staunch abolitionist and the highest ranking Union casualty from Wisconsin in the Civil War."

The following legislative proposals were passed out of the Financial Services and Oversight Committees:

• H.R. 5535, the Insurance Data Protection Act, reins in the Treasury Department's Federal Insurance Office (FIO) by eliminating its subpoena authority and limiting how the office collects data from state insurance regulators.
• H.J. Res. 125, a resolution "providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System relating to 'Principles for Climate-Related Financial Risk Management for Large Financial Institutions'"
• H.R. 7199 - To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located S74w16860 Janesville Road, in Muskego, Wisconsin, as the "Colonel Hans Christian Heg Post Office." Colonel Hans Christian Heg was a staunch abolitionist who was the highest ranking Union casualty from Wisconsin in the Civil War.
