Summary

This joint resolution provides for congressional disapproval of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau decision to withdraw a rule about Truth in Lending (Regulation Z) protections for home sales financed under contracts for deed. The original rule was issued in 2024 to provide consumer protections for this financing arrangement. The CFPB withdrew this rule in 2025, but this joint resolution, if passed by Congress, would disapprove that withdrawal. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to overturn agency rules with expedited procedures. If passed, the original consumer protection rule would be reinstated and remain in effect.
