Bill Summary

Disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Overdraft Lending: Very Large Financial Institutions".

AI Summary

This joint resolution aims to nullify a rule proposed by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) concerning overdraft lending practices at very large financial institutions. The resolution specifically targets a rule published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2024, and declares that the rule shall have no legal standing or effect. Overdraft lending occurs when a bank allows a customer to withdraw more money than is available in their account, typically charging a fee for this service. By disapproving the CFPB's rule, Congress is effectively blocking the regulatory agency's attempt to implement new guidelines or restrictions on how large financial institutions manage and charge for overdraft services. This type of congressional action is authorized under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn federal regulations issued by executive branch agencies.
