CFPB–IG Reform Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 2513, also known as the "Inspector General of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Confirmation Act," aims to require Senate confirmation for the Inspector General of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP). The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the BCFP.

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection is a government agency responsible for regulating and enforcing consumer protection laws in the financial sector. The Inspector General of the BCFP plays a crucial role in overseeing the agency's operations and ensuring accountability and transparency.

Currently, the Inspector General of the BCFP is appointed by the Director of the BCFP without the need for Senate confirmation. This bill seeks to change that by requiring Senate confirmation for this important position. This would ensure that the Inspector General is held to the same standards of scrutiny and accountability as other high-ranking government officials. In addition to the confirmation requirement, the bill may also include other provisions related to the BCFP and its operations. These provisions could address issues such as the Inspector General's duties, responsibilities, and reporting requirements. Overall, Bill 119 hr 2513 aims to increase transparency and accountability within the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection by requiring Senate confirmation for the Inspector General and potentially implementing other important provisions related to the agency's operations.
