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 2015-07 re: in-person collection of consumer debt".
This bill allows Congress to reject a specific rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have cancelled an older guideline about in-person debt collection. If passed, the resolution would stop the new rule from taking effect, meaning the original 2015 guidelines on how collectors interact with consumers in person would remain in place. The measure directly impacts the Bureau's authority to modify its regulations and affects debt collectors and consumers who rely on existing collection practices.
