Summary

This joint resolution proposes congressional disapproval, under the Congressional Review Act, of a specific rule promulgated by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP). The rule in question is the BCFP's action to withdraw its previously established "Statement of Policy Regarding Prohibition on Abusive Acts or Practices." This withdrawal was published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2025. Should this resolution be enacted, the BCFP's rule withdrawing the policy statement would be nullified and rendered without force or effect. The primary aim is to prevent the BCFP from removing its guidance concerning the prohibition of abusive acts or practices in the consumer financial market, thereby effectively maintaining the original policy statement.
