When Republicans took over the House after the mid-term elections in 2010, one of the first things on the agenda for some members was to alter or repeal the sweeping financial reform passed by the previous Congress.

In the year that has passed since H.R. 4173, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, was signed into law, there have been at least 12 bills proposed to alter or remove provisions from the law, with two of those bills proposing to repeal the legislation altogether. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., introduced the first of the two bills—H.R. 87, and Sen. Jim Demint, R-S.C. introduced the second—S. 712.

The list below contains a brief summary of each bill, a link to the Sunlight Foundation’s Influence Explorer profile for each law maker and information about lobbying done on each bill. It should be noted that the lobbying totals include money spent on all bills and issues the organizations have lobbied on. For instance, the Chamber of Commerce has spent $10.8 million this year alone on many issues including, but not limited to, some of the bills listed below. All amounts reported here are as of July 14, 2011 with some of the organizations already reporting for the second quarter of 2011.
