About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · April 13, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This joint resolution uses the congressional review process to block a rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would withdraw protections against credit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The resolution disapproves the withdrawal rule, meaning if passed, it would prevent the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from removing the 2021 non-discrimination protections from its Equal Credit Opportunity regulations. The measure affects LGBTQ+ individuals and any financial institutions subject to federal lending regulations. No specific funding is allocated through this resolution, as it operates through the congressional disapproval mechanism already established in federal law. If approved by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President, the resolution would restore and maintain the existing anti-discrimination lending protections.
