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 "Debt Collection Practices (Regulation F); Deceptive and Unfair Collection of Medical Debt".
HJRES 220 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rule regulating medical debt collection. The rule, published October 4, 2024, aimed to prevent deceptive and unfair practices by debt collectors in medical debt cases under "Regulation F." If passed, this resolution would block the rule from taking effect, leaving current debt collection standards unchanged. The resolution does not create new law but stops a specific regulatory change from being implemented.
