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…
Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
This joint resolution, under the Congressional Review Act, disapproves a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) rule that withdrew an earlier CFPB rule titled "Examinations for Risks to Active‑Duty Servicemembers and Their Covered Dependents." If enacted, the resolution would nullify the 2025 withdrawal (90 Fed.
Reg. 20084) so the 2021 examination rule (86 Fed.
Reg. 32723) would remain in force.
Procedurally simple and narrow but outcome hinges on congressional majorities and the President's stance; modest political friction expected.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused Congressional Review Act disapproval resolution that is clear about its target and legal effect and integrates adequately with the statutory mechanism for such disapprovals.
Liberal emphasizes servicemember protections; conservatives emphasize regulatory burden
