This bill would stop the CFPB from canceling an earlier rule about changes to existing credit. It would keep that rollback from taking legal effect, without directly rewriting the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
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 "Equal Credit Opportunity (Regulation B); Revocations or Unfavorable Changes to the Terms of Existing Credit Arrangements". is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
Latest action on H.J.Res. 164: Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who already have credit and the lenders that serve them. It also affects the CFPB because it would limit one agency decision about Regulation B. Congress would also play a direct role by using its power to cancel an agency rule.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change what happens when a lender wants to close or worsen credit that a person already has. It also affects how much power the CFPB has to undo its own credit rules. Because the bill uses the Congressional Review Act, it may also limit similar CFPB rules in the future unless Congress allows them.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
