Linda S. Rodgers (R-WA) in the 117th Congress (2021-2022).

HR 6409: Repeal CFPB Act

HR 6409, the "Repeal CFPB Act," would eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by repealing the 2010 law that created it. This would restore all previous financial regulations to the agencies that managed them before the CFPB's creation, such as the Federal Reserve. The bill directly affects consumer financial products like mortgages, credit cards, and loans, shifting regulatory oversight back to other federal agencies. It does not create new rules but reverses the structural change established by the 2010 Act.
