Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This joint resolution seeks to block a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule that withdrew federal limitations on state consumer credit reporting laws. The CFPB had previously established rules in 2022 that limited states' ability to enact their own consumer protections regarding credit reporting, but then withdrew those limitations in 2025. This congressional resolution would disapprove the CFPB's withdrawal, effectively restoring the federal preemption that prevents states from passing stronger credit reporting consumer protections. The resolution affects consumers nationwide by determining whether states can enact laws that go beyond federal credit reporting protections or whether federal rules will continue to override state efforts. No funding is involved in this resolution, and if passed, it would take immediate effect by nullifying the CFPB's rule withdrawal.
