Congress would reject a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw its rules protecting people from unfair debt collection practices related to medical bills. The rule being withdrawn had previously limited how debt collectors could pursue people over medical debts, and this measure would prevent that withdrawal from taking effect. If passed, debt collectors would continue to face restrictions on how aggressively they can collect medical debts from consumers.
