hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Disapproves withdrawing a rule on credit report dispute investigations.
Sen. Duckworth, Democrat, Illinois.
Introduced in Senate, awaiting committee action.
Senator Tammy Duckworth introduced this bill to block the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB) from withdrawing its rule on how consumer reporting agencies investigate credit disputes. This means Circular 2022-07, which requires a 'reasonable investigation' into such disputes, would remain active. The bill is currently in the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee awaiting further action.
Introduced Apr 13, 2026
This joint resolution was introduced in the Senate by Senator Duckworth on April 13, 2026. It has been referred to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. For it to become law, it must pass both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and then be signed by the President. If the President vetoes it, Congress could override the veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
If this resolution passes, the original rule (Circular 2022-07) requiring 'reasonable investigation' of consumer reporting disputes would remain in effect. This means credit reporting agencies would continue to be required to conduct thorough inquiries into any errors you report on your credit file. This could lead to a more accurate credit history for you and make the process of correcting mistakes more robust.
