The CFPB created rules in 2024 to limit how debt collectors can go after people for medical bills. The CFPB then canceled those rules in May 2025. This resolution would undo that cancellation and bring the 2024 protections back.
This affects people who owe medical debt and the debt collection companies that contact them.
If this resolution passes, the 2024 medical debt collection rules would be restored and legally in effect. If it does not pass, the CFPB's cancellation stands and those rules remain scrapped.
