This joint resolution would use chapter 8 of title 5 to disapprove a rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB). The CFPB rule being disapproved would have withdrawn a prior rule called "Bulletin 2022-01," which covers medical debt collection and consumer reporting requirements in connection with the No Surprises Act. The resolution states that the CFPB's withdrawal rule "shall have no force or effect."
If the resolution is enacted, the CFPB action to withdraw Bulletin 2022-01 would be nullified and the CFPB withdrawal rule would have no force or effect. That would leave the earlier bulletin in place as it existed before the CFPB published the withdrawal. This could matter to people and organizations involved in medical billing, debt collection, and consumer credit reporting.
