This 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 an earlier document from January 2024 titled "Fair Credit Reporting; Background Screening," which addressed how federal credit reporting law applies to background checks. If passed, the May 2025 withdrawal would have no force or effect.
