 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Taking Account of Bureaucrats' Spending Act of 2017 or the TABS Act of 2017

This bill amends the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 to eliminate provisions that fund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) using transfers from the earnings of the Federal Reserve System. The transfers under current law permit the CFPB to be funded outside of the annual appropriations process, and this bill brings the CFPB into the regular process.
