While researching banking laws, I came across an FDIC website that indicates the FDIC library has legislative histories available for the most important banking laws. I’m not sure how easily accessible the legislative histories are if you can’t make the trip to D.C., but the fact these exist may greatly relieve someone someday!

Also, here are some consumer protection websites that are helpful when researching consumer issues like credit cards:

1) Federal Reserve Board: Consumer Information

2) Federal Trade Commission

2) Washington State Attorney General on Safeguarding Consumers
