Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to ``Bulletin 2015-07 re: in-person collection of consumer debt''.
Summary
This joint resolution disapproves of a rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) that would have withdrawn Bulletin 2015-07 regarding in-person collection of consumer debt. If this resolution is approved by Congress, the CFPB's withdrawal rule would be blocked and have no legal effect. This means the original 2015 bulletin would remain in place and continue to apply to debt collection practices.
