Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking a recent decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw guidance that had warned banks and lenders about illegal discrimination in lending practices. If approved, this resolution would overturn the agency's action and keep the original anti-discrimination guidance in place, protecting borrowers from unfair treatment based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics. The measure would affect banks, credit unions, and other lenders that provide mortgages, auto loans, and other forms of credit.
