Bill 119 SJRes 28 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove a rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection regarding the definition of "larger participants" in the market for general-use digital consumer payment applications. The rule in question seeks to establish criteria for determining which companies qualify as larger participants in this market, which would subject them to additional regulations and oversight by the Bureau.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the rule is overly broad and could potentially stifle innovation and competition in the digital payment industry. They believe that the criteria outlined in the rule are too vague and could result in unintended consequences for smaller companies operating in the market.

Overall, the resolution has sparked a contentious debate in Congress, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing strong opinions on the issue.
