Congressional Disapproval of Small Business Lending Data Collection Rule

This Congressional resolution aims to block a new rule (Regulation B) from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The rule would require financial institutions to collect and report detailed data on small business loans, including information on the race, sex, and ethnicity of the owners. If the resolution is passed, these data collection requirements will not take effect, meaning lenders will not have to disclose this information, potentially making it harder to assess equal access to credit for small businesses.
Key points
Blocking New Rules: Congress seeks to nullify the CFPB rule requiring data collection on small business lending (Regulation B).
No Reporting Obligation: If the resolution passes, lenders will not be required to collect and disclose demographic information (e.g., gender, race) of small business owners applying for credit.
Impact on Equal Credit Access: The absence of this data may hinder the monitoring and detection of potential discrimination in the small business lending process.
