This joint resolution proposes to exercise congressional disapproval under the Congressional Review Act regarding a specific rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP). The BCFP's rule, published in the Federal Register, concerned the withdrawal of existing regulations related to "Debt Collection Practices (Regulation F); Deceptive and Unfair Collection of Medical Debt." By disapproving this BCFP rule, Congress intends to nullify the BCFP's action to remove these protections. If this resolution is enacted, the BCFP's withdrawal rule would have no force or effect, effectively ensuring that the regulations addressing deceptive and unfair medical debt collection practices remain in place.
