Summary

This joint resolution would disapprove a rule submitted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that would withdraw an existing bulletin governing in-person collection of consumer debt. The CFPB bulletin in question, issued in December 2015, addressed practices for collecting debts directly from consumers, and the agency proposed to withdraw this guidance in May 2025. If passed, this resolution would prevent the withdrawal from taking effect, meaning the original 2015 bulletin on in-person debt collection practices would remain in force. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to disapprove federal agency rules.
