Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Keep CFPB negative‑option guidance
If enacted, this bill would disapprove the CFPB rule that withdrew Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2023-01. The bill cites the withdrawal notice at 90 Fed. Reg. 20086 (May 12, 2025). It would make that withdrawal have no force or effect. That would keep Circular 2023-01 in place and preserve CFPB guidance limiting unlawful negative-option marketing. Consumers would keep those protections, and businesses using negative-option models would still be subject to the guidance. The change would take effect upon enactment.
