Congress is considering blocking a recent decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw its rules protecting people's credit information when used for background screening by employers and landlords. If approved, this would force the agency to keep those protections in place, preventing companies from using credit reports for background checks without following strict fairness requirements. The resolution targets workers and renters who could be denied jobs or housing based on their credit history.
