Bill 118 hjres 121, also known as the "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to 'Credit Card Penalty Fees (Regulation Z)'," is a piece of legislation that aims to overturn a rule proposed by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection regarding credit card penalty fees.
The rule in question, known as Regulation Z, addresses the issue of credit card penalty fees and seeks to regulate how credit card companies can charge these fees to consumers. The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection submitted this rule for approval, but some members of Congress believe that it may have negative implications for consumers and the financial industry.
If passed, Bill 118 hjres 121 would disapprove of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, effectively nullifying it and preventing it from being implemented. This would allow Congress to reconsider the rule and potentially propose alternative regulations or solutions to address the issue of credit card penalty fees.
Overall, Bill 118 hjres 121 is a significant piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate surrounding consumer financial protection and the role of government regulation in the financial industry. It will be interesting to see how Congress ultimately decides to address the issue of credit card penalty fees and whether alternative solutions will be proposed in the future.
