PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-04-30 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
This proposed resolution would invalidate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s withdrawal of an earlier rule about when consumer reports may be shared, used, or obtained. It targets the withdrawal itself; it does not spell out the requirements for people or businesses supplying or using those reports.
That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to Fair Credit Reporting; Permissible Purposes for Furnishing, Using, and Obtaining Consumer Reports (87 Fed. Reg. 41243 (July 12, 2022)) (90 Fed. Reg. 20084 (May 12, 2025)), and such rule shall have no force or effect.
If enacted, the resolution would give the withdrawal rule no force or effect. The text identifies the earlier consumer-reporting rule through its July 12, 2022 Federal Register citation and the withdrawal through its May 12, 2025 citation.
