SJRES 133 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution 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 "Fair Credit Reporting; Background Screening".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have withdrawn a previous regulation concerning background checks for credit reporting. The bill directly affects employers, hiring agencies, and consumers who rely on background screening processes by preventing the removal of existing Fair Credit Reporting guidelines. If passed, the resolution would keep the original background screening rules in place and nullify the proposed changes that would have eliminated them. The measure uses a congressional review process to formally reject the agency's decision to withdraw the regulation.
