254 representatives voted for a motion to sidetrack the Bill, while 166 voted against it, with Republican members leading the charge against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Department of Labor and Democratic Caucus led Bill, US political website The Press Enterprise has reported.
The proposal was an offshoot of the Dodd-Frank reforms spearheaded by the Obama administration following the global financial crisis.
