FINANCIAL PROTECTION RELATING TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE RULE RELATING TO
“CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION CIRCULAR 2024-04: WHISTLEBLOWER
PROTECTIONS UNDER CFPA SECTION 1057”—Motion to Proceed
Mr. WELCH. Mr. President, I move to proceed to S.J. Res. 135.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the motion.
The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
Motion to proceed to Calendar No. 391, S.J. Res. 135,
providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of
title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the
withdrawal of the rule relating to “Consumer Financial
Protection Circular 2024-04: Whistleblower Protections Under
CFPA Section 1057”.
Mr. WELCH. Mr. President, the CFPB promulgated a rule to protect whistleblowers.
practices and rip-offs in organizations where they had the ability to see what happened and to stand up to protect the rule of law and to stop rip-offs.
our President pro tempore Senator Grassley, and I have such admiration for him in his steadfast commitment to whistleblowers.
to sign nondisclosure agreements that are overly broad, and it means that a whistleblower has no protections because they are being threatened with lawsuits, and they are being threatened that they are going to be accused of breaking the law or that they are engaged in corporate misconduct if they essentially blow the whistle on bad practices that are hurting the people we represent.
I don't know why the Trump administration rescinded that rule. Whistleblowers, as Senator Grassley has eloquently stated over and over again, protect us, protect the taxpayers, and protect us from abuse of practices.
I yield the floor.
Vote on Motion to Proceed

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Ohio.
