Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
The bill prohibits the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (the enterprises) from implementing the single-family mortgage credit fee pricing changes announced by FHFA on January 19, 2023 (Lender Letter LL–2023–01 and Bulletin 2023–1), and declares those materials void. It also clarifies that the Act does not prohibit the enterprises from using risk-based pricing for single-family mortgage credit fees.
Progressive fears blocking consumer-protective or equity-minded pricing reforms.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly scoped substantive policy intervention that clearly targets and nullifies specified FHFA and enterprise pricing documents using a direct statutory prohibition.

Narrow rollback increases chance in a willing House but Senate barriers, agency pushback, and stakeholder opposition lower overall probability.

Progressive fears blocking consumer-protective or equity-minded pricing reforms.
Skeptical.
Support depends on whether the 2023 pricing changes advanced consumer protection or affordability goals; the bill simply nullifies those changes.
Because the text gives no detail about the policy rationale, implications for low-income or disadvantaged borrowers are uncertain.
Cautiously neutral.
The bill reverses a specific FHFA policy action and preserves risk-based pricing; success depends on the merits and data behind the 2023 changes.
A centrist would want clear evidence of cost, distributional effects, and risk consequences before endorsing or opposing.
Likely supportive.
The bill cancels FHFA-directed changes to credit fee pricing, which conservatives will frame as limiting regulatory overreach and protecting borrowers from higher fees.
Preserving risk-based pricing addresses market discipline concerns.
