Keep student loan billing protections

If enacted, this joint resolution would disapprove a CFPB rule submitted May 12, 2025 (90 Fed. Reg. 20084). That CFPB rule sought to withdraw Bulletin 2023-01 (88 Fed. Reg. 17366, March 23, 2023) on unfair billing and collection after certain student loan bankruptcy discharges. The joint resolution would render that withdrawal rule without force or effect. If enacted, this would preserve the prior CFPB protections for affected borrowers and the creditors or collectors who handle those accounts. The change would take effect upon enactment.
