Contact Congress about S.J.Res. 28: A joint resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Defining Larger Participants of a Market for General-Use Digital Consumer Payment Applications".

Large payment app companies will not face the CFPB rule Congress canceled. The law wipes out that specific rule and does not replace it with a new standard.

Latest action on S.J.Res. 28: Became Public Law No: 119-11.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies that run widely used digital payment apps and the CFPB, the agency that oversees consumer finance. These companies avoid this specific new CFPB rule. The CFPB loses this rule as a tool for deciding which large payment app companies receive closer supervision. Consumers who use payment apps could be affected, but this law does not say exactly how protections or company practices would change.

Why this matters: This law matters because it stops a new federal oversight rule for large digital payment app companies. The canceled CFPB rule would have helped decide which companies in this market could face closer agency supervision. Without it, that specific change does not happen. The effect on consumers is uncertain because this law does not say what protections change, if any.

Key provisions in S.J.Res. 28

  • Congress used its rule-review power to reject one final CFPB rule.
  • The rejected rule was called “Defining Larger Participants of a Market for General-Use Digital Consumer Payment Applications.” It appeared in the Federal Register at 89 Fed. Reg. 99582 on December 10, 2024.
  • The law says the rule has no legal force or effect. That means the CFPB cannot apply or enforce it.
  • The law does not create new rules for digital consumer payment apps. It also does not set up a replacement system.
  • The resolution became law on May 9, 2025. Both the Senate and the House passed it first.
