The House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on Government Operations in the U.S. held a hearing to discuss the unintended consequences of FATCA. Congressman Gerry Connolly claimed that FATCA is a consequence of a valid problem, however, the legislation may be over zealous in its reach to the point that it is disrupting the lives of law abiding U.S. citizens.

Senator Rand Paul and Rep. Mark Meadows argued that FATCA is a “solution in search of a problem” and claimed while the legislation may be well intentioned, the implementation is flawed.
