Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd said Wednesday he is worried that the congressional intent of some key aspects of the new, sweeping bank-reform law will be distorted as regulators write rules based on the statute.

Regulators are charged with writing over 200 rules based on the law.
