A joint resolution 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 relating to "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-03: Unlawful and Unenforceable Contract Terms and Conditions".

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). It targets the BCFP's rule that withdrew "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-03: Unlawful and Unenforceable Contract Terms and Conditions." By disapproving this withdrawal rule, Congress intends to prevent the BCFP from retracting its guidance on problematic contract clauses. If passed, the BCFP's withdrawal rule would have no legal effect, thereby ensuring that the original circular concerning unlawful and unenforceable contract terms remains applicable. This measure seeks to maintain consumer protections against unfair contract provisions by overriding the BCFP's decision to rescind its guidance.
