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…
Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
This joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act disapproves the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection’s rule that would withdraw the prior CFPB rule titled "Truth in Lending (Regulation Z); Consumer Protections for Home Sales Financed Under Contracts for Deed." If enacted, the disapproval would nullify the CFPB’s withdrawal, leaving the original Regulation Z protections for contracts for deed in force.
Narrow and low-cost but partisan; easier in one chamber, difficult in the Senate absent broad bipartisan support.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise Congressional Review Act-style disapproval that clearly identifies the targeted agency action, cites statutory authority, and states the operative effect; it omits fiscal discussion, detailed implementation sequencing, edge-case handling, and oversight provisions.
Progressives emphasize consumer protection and anti-predatory goals.

Likely opposed: views the resolution as blocking regulatory relief and extending federal intrusion into private home sales.
Concerned about increased compliance burden and reduced flexibility in seller-financed transactions.
