Plain-English summary
This joint resolution reinstates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB’s) guidance on unlawful and unenforceable contract terms published in a June 2024 circular. The circular states that consumer financial service providers that include unlawful or unenforceable terms in contracts with consumers (such as a contract that contains an unlawful waiver of the consumer’s right to sue) may be in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act's ban on deceptive acts or practices.
The CFPB withdrew this circular on May 12, 2025. This joint resolution disapproves of the rule that withdraws this circular.
