Plain-English Summary

Congress would reject a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule that withdrew protections for whistleblowers who report violations of consumer financial protection laws. This would restore safeguards that allow employees at financial companies to report illegal or harmful practices without fear of retaliation. The measure affects workers in the financial services industry and consumers who depend on whistleblowers to expose fraud and misconduct.
