Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-11.
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 about digital payment app companies.
The problem
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau created a rule defining which digital payment companies must follow consumer protection rules. Congress disagreed with this rule.
The proposal
This joint resolution cancels the CFPB rule about which companies are considered large enough to need consumer protection oversight for digital payment apps.
The impact
Digital payment companies may have fewer consumer protection requirements. Consumers using payment apps could have less federal oversight of their transactions and data.
Companies avoid new compliance costs and paperwork requirements. This can help smaller fintech companies grow without heavy regulatory burdens. Businesses can innovate faster without waiting for approval.
Fewer rules may allow more companies to enter the digital payment market. More competition can lead to better features and lower fees for consumers.
Companies have more flexibility to offer different payment products. This can give consumers more options tailored to their needs.
Without this rule, large digital payment companies may not face federal oversight requirements. Consumers could have less protection against fraud, data breaches, or unfair practices.
Companies may not need to meet strong security standards for customer payment information. This could make personal financial data more vulnerable to theft.
Without federal rules, companies could use confusing fees or misleading practices. Consumers have fewer government protections against financial harm.
Banks face consumer protection rules while large payment apps may not. This creates unfair competition and different safety standards for similar services.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
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.
