Limits federal consumer oversight of insurers
This bill would limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from enforcing federal consumer finance rules against people or firms regulated by a state insurance regulator when they are doing the business of insurance. The CFPB’s power under other listed consumer laws would be read narrowly in those cases. A new rule would tell decision-makers to favor state insurance regulators’ authority for these firms. If enacted, this could shift some oversight from the federal level to state regulators and reduce federal protections for some insurance‑linked financial products.
