SJRES 156 United States Senate · 119th Congress

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 "Truth in Lending (Regulation Z); Consumer Credit Offered to Borrowers in Advance of Expected Receipt of Compensation for Work".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule proposed by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would remove existing regulations on consumer credit offered to workers before they are paid. The bill directly affects lenders and financial institutions that provide credit to employees, aiming to maintain current Truth in Lending protections. If passed, the proposed withdrawal of the rule would not take effect, preserving the existing regulatory framework for advance compensation credit. The measure uses the Congressional Review Act process to block the specific regulatory change without altering other financial laws.
