SJRES18-119

Signed into Law

A joint resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Overdraft Lending: Very Large Financial Institutions".

119th Congress Introduced Feb 13, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule titled "Overdraft Lending: Very Large Financial Institutions." If enacted, the CFPB rule would have no force or effect.

Who Benefits and How

Very large financial institutions benefit because the resolution blocks the overdraft-lending rule before it can impose new compliance duties. Banks and credit unions using overdraft-fee models may benefit from avoiding rule-driven changes to pricing, disclosures, or product design.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Consumers who would have received the rule's overdraft protections lose those potential benefits. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau loses the regulatory framework and enforcement hook created by the rule.

Key Provisions

  • Disapproves the CFPB overdraft-lending rule for very large financial institutions.
  • Uses the Congressional Review Act to give the rule no force or effect.
  • Reduces compliance risk for covered financial institutions.
  • Removes the rule's consumer-protection changes before implementation.
  • Blocks CFPB from implementing the disapproved overdraft-lending framework.
  • Limits future use of a substantially similar overdraft rule unless Congress authorizes it.
