Official title: To restore certain guidance and rules of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
Introduced May 13, 2026 by Maxine Waters · Last progress May 13, 2026
Nullifies 23 CFPB withdrawal notices filed May 12, 2025, restoring the earlier CFPB rules, bulletins, circulars, and policy statements listed.
Strikes the force and effect of 23 specific Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) withdrawal notices filed May 12, 2025, restoring the earlier CFPB rules, bulletins, circulars, and policy statements those withdrawals sought to nullify. It does not change funding, amend other statutes, or set new deadlines beyond the cited Federal Register actions. The provision affects the CFPB and the listed guidance documents — for example, restoring a Fair Credit Reporting Act limited preemption interpretation and several debt-collection and bulletin/circular policies from 2012–2024 — by making the May 12, 2025 withdrawal submissions have no force or effect.
