Summary of Bill HJRES 74

Bill 119 hjres 74, also known as the Disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Prohibition on Creditors and Consumer Reporting Agencies Concerning Medical Information (Regulation V)", is a piece of legislation that aims to overturn a rule proposed by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection regarding the handling of medical information by creditors and consumer reporting agencies.

The rule in question, known as Regulation V, prohibits creditors and consumer reporting agencies from including certain medical information in credit reports.

They believe that creditors and consumer reporting agencies should have the ability to consider all relevant information when assessing an individual's creditworthiness. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 74 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over the role of government regulation in the financial industry and the protection of consumer rights.
