A joint resolution 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 "Examinations for Risks to Active-Duty Servicemembers and Their Covered Dependents".

Key Points

• This resolution aims to cancel a decision made by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in 2025. That decision had stopped the agency from performing specific checks to see if lenders were following the law when dealing with military members.
• The policy affects active-duty military members and their families. It is designed to ensure that the government continues to actively look for predatory lending or unfair financial practices that specifically target people serving in the armed forces.
• Military members are often targets for high-interest loans and other risky financial products. By blocking the CFPB's attempt to scale back oversight, this resolution forces the agency to keep using its power to protect soldiers from being cheated by banks or lenders.
• This action uses a special process that allows Congress to vote to throw out rules made by government agencies. If this resolution passes and is signed, the CFPB's previous move to reduce these military protections will be legally erased.
