A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04: Whistleblower Protections Under CFPA Section 1057".
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 19, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This joint resolution uses Congress's power under the Congressional Review Act to block a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau decision to withdraw whistleblower protections. The CFPB had originally issued guidance in 2024 strengthening protections for employees who report financial misconduct, but then withdrew those protections in 2025. If passed, this resolution would prevent the CFPB from withdrawing the whistleblower protections and restore the original 2024 guidance. The resolution primarily affects employees at banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions who might report illegal or unethical practices by their employers. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included, as this is a disapproval resolution that would simply block the CFPB's withdrawal action and maintain existing protections.
