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.
