Disapproving CFPB Withdrawal Rule

Summary#

This joint resolution would use the congressional disapproval process in chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code, to reject a rule the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) submitted. The CFPB rule at issue would withdraw an earlier 2022 rule titled "Equal Credit Opportunity (Regulation B); Revocations or Unfavorable Changes to the Terms of Existing Credit Arrangements." The resolution states that the CFPB's submitted rule "shall have no force or effect."
