Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-10.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Congress blocked a consumer protection rule on overdraft fees for large banks.
The problem
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created a rule limiting overdraft lending practices by very large financial institutions. Congress disapproved of this regulatory action.
The proposal
This joint resolution rejects the CFPB's overdraft lending rule, preventing it from taking effect.
The impact
Banks keep current overdraft practices. Consumers may face higher overdraft fees. The CFPB's authority is limited in this area.
Large financial institutions can continue existing overdraft practices without new restrictions. This allows banks to set their own policies on overdraft fees and lending terms.
Banks avoid compliance costs from new rules. They don't need to restructure systems or change business models to follow CFPB requirements.
Congress used its power to review and reject executive branch regulations. This preserves legislative oversight of federal agencies.
Without the rule, banks may continue charging high overdraft fees. Low-income customers who overdraft frequently could face significant costs.
The CFPB rule aimed to limit predatory overdraft practices. Rejecting it removes a safeguard for vulnerable consumers.
The blocked rule applied only to very large financial institutions. Smaller banks still face restrictions, creating unequal regulation.
The CFPB's ability to protect consumers is reduced. This weakens one tool for addressing financial industry problems.

No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
