Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to cancel a rule that was supposed to protect workers who borrow money against their future paychecks. If approved, this resolution would force the agency to keep the paycheck advance lending rule in place rather than allow it to be withdrawn. The vote would affect payday lenders and the workers who use these high-cost loans.
