Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
This resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn an agency action that withdrew an earlier CFPB rule protecting servicemembers. If both the House and Senate pass this joint resolution and the President signs it (or Congress overrides a veto), the withdrawal rule is nullified and will have no effect. The CRA also prevents the agency from issuing a new rule that is substantially the same without new legislation. The CRA provides expedited consideration in Congress for these disapproval measures.
The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule that withdrew the 2021 "Examinations for Risks to Active-Duty Servicemembers and Their Covered Dependents" rule (90 Fed. Reg. 20084 (May 12, 2025)).
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB)
Under the CRA the Senate considers disapproval resolutions under expedited procedures that prevent a filibuster and allow passage by a simple majority; the House also passes by simple majority. The joint resolution still must be presented to the President for signature or veto.
This joint resolution, under the Congressional Review Act, disapproves a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) rule that withdrew an earlier CFPB rule titled "Examinations for Risks to Active‑Duty Servicemembers and Their Covered Dependents." If enacted, the resolution would nullify the 2025 withdrawal (90 Fed.
Reg. 20084) so the 2021 examination rule (86 Fed.
Reg. 32723) would remain in force.
Procedurally simple and narrow but outcome hinges on congressional majorities and the President's stance; modest political friction expected.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused Congressional Review Act disapproval resolution that is clear about its target and legal effect and integrates adequately with the statutory mechanism for such disapprovals.
