This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to cancel a rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on May 12, 2025. That 2025 rule withdrew an earlier 2023 rule on time-barred debt under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (Regulation F). Time-barred debt is debt that is too old to be collected through a lawsuit. Under this resolution, the 2025 withdrawal rule would have no force or effect.
