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 "Bulletin 2012-04: Lending discrimination (April 18, 2012)".
This joint resolution seeks to officially reject a rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would remove an older guideline on lending discrimination. If passed, the bill would prevent the Bureau from withdrawing the 2012 bulletin, thereby keeping the existing anti-discrimination standards in place for financial institutions. The measure uses a formal process known as congressional disapproval to ensure that the specific regulatory change does not take effect.
