Bill 117 HR 8321, also known as the Military Consumer Protection Task Force Act of 2022, aims to establish a task force within the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that is specifically focused on protecting military consumers from financial exploitation and fraud. The task force will be comprised of representatives from the CFPB, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other relevant agencies.

The primary goals of the task force include identifying and addressing financial challenges faced by military consumers, educating service members and their families about their rights and protections under existing consumer financial laws, and coordinating efforts to combat financial scams targeting the military community.

The bill also requires the task force to submit an annual report to Congress detailing its activities, findings, and recommendations for improving financial protections for military consumers. Additionally, the task force will be responsible for conducting outreach and providing resources to help military consumers navigate the complex financial landscape. Overall, the Military Consumer Protection Task Force Act of 2022 seeks to strengthen protections for service members and their families against predatory financial practices and ensure they have the information and support they need to make informed financial decisions.
