This quick reference tool allows you to navigate the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as related CCH explanations, amended laws, effective dates and other source materials.
The tool enables you to quickly find and track the ensuing regulatory response (i.e., rulemaking, guidance, studies and enforcement) that began shortly after the Act's passage and will soon escalate. Organized by topic, the charts offer a summary of each Dodd-Frank Act provision, with links to the full analysis, the text of the Act provisions, the text of existing laws as amended, and related regulatory materials and cases reported in the CCH Federal Banking Law Reporter and CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter, as they become available. You can build custom charts in seconds, targeting all or selected topics. You can also export the charts into Microsoft Word or Excel format for circulation while retaining live links to source material. Recent changes will be highlighted in yellow.
QuickCharts are available as add-ons to subscriptions of the CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter and the CCH Federal Banking Law Reporter. Contact your Account Representative to add Financial Reform QuickCharts to your subscription.
CCH State Tax Guide reorganized for more efficient searching
The CCH State Tax Guide now has enhanced searchability through explanations that are targeted to specific issues. You'll find more targeted paragraph topics and a uniform outline that applies across all states. Rate and taxability information can be researched by topic and/or transaction type by going to the Topical Index located at the front of each tax type division in the new loose-leaf Reporter.
In addition, each topic is now located at its own distinct paragraph number, and that paragraph number is the same for all states and the District of Columbia. Because the outlines for each tax type are now uniform and concise across all states, finding answers will be easier than ever, whether you're searching in a single state or in several states on IntelliConnect.
If you have questions or would like more information, contact your Account Representative or call Customer Service at 800-344-3734
