Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw a rule that required financial companies to protect sensitive customer information like Social Security numbers and bank account details. If approved, this resolution would force the agency to keep the data protection requirements in place instead of allowing companies to drop them. The vote would affect banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions that handle personal consumer data.
