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.
