Disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Prohibition on Creditors and Consumer Reporting Agencies Concerning Medical Information (Regulation V)".
H.J.Res. 74 disapproves a rule by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP) that would have prohibited creditors and consumer reporting agencies from using medical information - such as unpaid medical bills - in credit reports and credit scoring. The rule, published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2025, aimed to prevent medical debt from affecting credit scores. If enacted, this resolution would block the rule from taking effect, maintaining the current practice where medical debt can influence credit decisions. This disapproval follows standard Congressional Review Act procedures for overturning agency rules.
