SJRES 147 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 "Statement of Policy Regarding Prohibition on Abusive Acts or Practices".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would withdraw a policy prohibiting abusive acts or practices by financial institutions. If enacted, the resolution would prevent the Bureau from removing its existing policy on abusive practices, keeping the current regulatory framework in place. The measure directly affects the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and financial institutions subject to its oversight. It uses the Congressional Review Act process to formally reject the agency's action and nullify the proposed rule change.
