Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This joint resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to cancel a May 2025 action by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In that action, the Bureau withdrew a 2021 rule on "name-only matching," which addressed how credit reporting companies match records, such as public records, to a person using only their name. Under this resolution, Congress would disapprove the 2025 withdrawal, and that withdrawal would have no force or effect.
