HJRES 167 United States House · 119th Congress

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Debt Collection Practices (Regulation F); Deceptive and Unfair Collection of Medical Debt".

This joint resolution asks Congress to reject a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. The rule in question would have removed previous regulations that addressed deceptive and unfair practices in the collection of medical debt. If approved, the resolution would cancel the new rule, keeping the existing protections for consumers in place. This action directly affects the Bureau's ability to modify how medical debt is collected under current federal law.
