Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw its policy against abusive financial practices by banks and lenders. If approved, this would force the agency to keep its protections in place that prevent financial companies from treating consumers unfairly. The resolution would affect millions of Americans who use banking and financial services by maintaining existing consumer safeguards.
