Disapproving CFPB Withdrawal of Bulletin

Summary#

This joint resolution, introduced by Representative Joyce Beatty and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, would use the congressional disapproval process in chapter 8 of title 5 to reject a rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB). The rule being disapproved would have withdrawn "Bulletin 2012-04: Lending discrimination (April 18, 2012)." The resolution says the CFPB's withdrawal rule (90 Fed. Reg. 20084 (May 12, 2025)) "shall have no force or effect."
