This resolution would cancel the CFPB's May 2025 decision to withdraw a rule it had proposed in 2022. That 2022 rule was meant to set clearer limits on who can access, share, or use information from a person's credit report and why. If this resolution passes, the CFPB's withdrawal of that rule would have no legal effect.
This affects everyday Americans who have credit reports. It also affects lenders, employers, landlords, and other businesses that request or use credit information.
The question of what counts as a legitimate reason to access someone's credit file would remain an open regulatory matter. The rules around credit report access would not be considered settled.
