Summary
This joint resolution, introduced under the Congressional Review Act, aims to nullify a specific action taken by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP). The resolution targets a BCFP rule that sought to withdraw a previous regulation concerning "Fair Credit Reporting; Name-Only Matching Procedures." By exercising its authority to disapprove agency rules, Congress intends to prevent the BCFP from rescinding the "Name-Only Matching Procedures" rule. If enacted, this resolution would ensure that the original rule, which addresses how credit reporting agencies handle name-only matches, remains in force. This legislative action effectively blocks the BCFP's attempt to remove the existing guidance on these specific credit reporting procedures.
