No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

Congress is considering blocking a rule change by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that would withdraw protections limiting how debt collectors can harass people in person to collect debts. If approved, this resolution would prevent the agency from rolling back the 2015 guidance that restricted aggressive in-person debt collection tactics. The measure affects debt collectors and consumers who owe money and want protection from intimidating collection practices.
