Summary

This is a joint resolution that would overturn a specific rule created by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) about the Fair Credit Reporting Act and how it interacts with state laws. **What it does:** Uses Congress's authority to reject federal agency rules by disapproving the CFPB's rule on preemption of state credit reporting laws. **Who it affects:** - Consumers who use credit reports for loans, rentals, jobs, etc. - Credit reporting agencies like Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion - Lenders, landlords, and employers who check credit reports - State governments that regulate credit reporting **What would change:** If passed, it would prevent the CFPB rule from taking effect, maintaining the previous legal framework for how federal and state credit reporting laws work together. The specific impacts would depend on what the original CFPB rule required. **Current status:** The resolution is in committee and has not been voted on yet.
