This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, targeting a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP). The BCFP rule in question sought to withdraw a prior directive, specifically Circular 2022-05, which provided guidance on certain financial practices. By disapproving this withdrawal, Congress intends to ensure that the original Circular 2022-05 remains in effect. This circular addresses critical issues concerning debt collection and consumer reporting practices involving invalid nursing home debts. The resolution's passage would prevent the BCFP from removing these established consumer protections related to such debts, ensuring they have no force or effect.
