Unlikely to pass

These types of resolutions are hard to pass unless one party has a strong majority and the president agrees to sign it.

Key Points

This resolution aims to stop a recent change by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. That change would have hidden details about consumer complaints from the public.
If this passes, the government would have to keep publishing information about complaints people file against banks and lenders. This includes complaints about credit cards, loans, and bank accounts.
Supporters believe this data is important because it helps people see which companies have the most problems. It also helps hold financial companies accountable for how they treat their customers.
This action uses a special power Congress has to cancel rules made by government agencies. If both the House and Senate agree, the agency plan to hide the data would be canceled.
