Changes to Consumer Bureau Funding: Increased Budgetary Oversight.

This act aims to change how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is funded, moving it from an independent funding source to the regular congressional appropriations process. This means Congress will have more control over how much money the Bureau can spend, potentially impacting its consumer protection activities.
Key points
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will be funded by Congress, not independent sources, increasing public oversight.
This change may affect the Bureau's ability to conduct consumer protection activities, depending on allocated funds.
The act authorizes appropriations for fiscal years 2021 and 2022, meaning funding will require annual congressional approval.
