PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-05-07 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 resolution proposes to cancel the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection’s withdrawal of an earlier rule concerning examinations for risks to active-duty military members and their covered dependents. If enacted, it would make the withdrawal rule legally ineffective.
That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to Examinations for Risks to Active-Duty Servicemembers and Their Covered Dependents (86 Fed. Reg. 32723 (June 23, 2021)) (90 Fed. Reg. 20084 (May 12, 2025)), and such rule shall have no force or effect.
The proposed disapproval targets the withdrawal rule identified by the May 12, 2025 Federal Register citation. The earlier examinations rule is identified by the June 23, 2021 citation. The resolution would give the withdrawal rule “no force or effect.”
