Business of Insurance Regulatory Reform Act of 2025

HR 4735, the Business of Insurance Regulatory Reform Act of 2025, clarifies that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) cannot enforce federal consumer financial laws over companies already regulated by state insurance departments for their insurance activities. The bill amends Section 1027(f) of the Consumer Financial Protection Act to explicitly state that the CFPB lacks authority to regulate insurance products or services when a company is subject to state insurance regulation. It also requires the CFPB to broadly interpret its authority in favor of state insurance regulators for such entities. This directly affects insurance companies operating under state oversight, preventing overlapping federal enforcement. The change focuses on defining regulatory boundaries, not altering insurance product rules.
