Renaming and Funding Change for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

This act renames the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection to the Consumer Financial Empowerment Agency. A key change is transitioning the agency to the regular appropriations process, meaning its funding will be approved by Congress rather than coming directly from the Federal Reserve. This aims to increase transparency and oversight of the agency's spending.
Key points

The agency's funding will come from a budget approved by Congress, rather than directly from the Federal Reserve, which may impact its independence and scope of activities.
