Summary

This joint resolution disapproves a rule by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that withdrew regulations restricting deceptive debt collection practices related to medical debt. The original regulations, issued in October 2024, addressed debt collection practices and deceptive collection of medical debt. The CFPB withdrew these regulations in May 2025. If passed, this resolution would invalidate the CFPB's withdrawal and reinstate the debt collection regulations.
