United States of America: Congressional resolution nullifying rule on defining larger participants in the digital consumer payment market was adopted by House of Representatives

Description

Congressional resolution nullifying rule on defining larger participants in the digital consumer payment market was adopted by House of Representatives

On 9 April 2025, the House of Representatives adopted a joint resolution (SJ Res 28) under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to disapprove the final rule submitted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) titled "Defining Larger Participants of a Market for General-Use Digital Consumer Payment Applications". The rule would have subjected large nonbank digital payment providers, including technology firms and digital wallet operators, to CFPB supervisory authority under the Dodd-Frank Act. By passing this resolution, Congress prevents the rule from going into effect.
