Very unlikely to pass

This resolution tries to undo a recent agency decision. It is unlikely to get enough votes to pass both chambers of Congress or get signed into law.

Key Points

  • This proposal would force the government to start publishing the personal stories people write when they complain about banks and financial companies.
  • In 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau decided to stop sharing these detailed stories in their public database.
  • Sen. Warren wants to cancel that decision so that customers can see what others are saying about financial businesses before they sign up for a service.
  • If this passes, the agency would have to go back to its old way of doing things and make these stories public again to help people spot patterns of bad behavior.
