Keep national preemption for credit reports

If enacted, this resolution would disapprove the CFPB rule withdrawing the 2022 preemption rule (87 Fed. Reg. 41042). The withdrawal was published at 90 Fed. Reg. 20084 (May 12, 2025). The resolution would make that withdrawal have no force or effect, so the CFPB's July 11, 2022 preemption rule would remain in place. This would change whether state consumer protections apply to credit reports. It would help firms that want one national rule and limit some state-level protections for consumers.
