SJRES 135 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 "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04: Whistleblower Protections Under CFPA Section 1057".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule that would have withdrawn whistleblower protections previously established under Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04. The bill directly affects financial institutions and employees who report violations of consumer financial laws by preventing the removal of existing whistleblower safeguards. If enacted, the resolution would keep the original whistleblower protections in place and nullify the proposed withdrawal rule. The measure uses the Congressional Review Act process to formally reject the agency's regulatory action.
