house 07/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to clarify the boundaries between federal and state authority so that state insurance regulators maintain primary control over insurance providers, even when consumer financial products are involved. This legislation aims to ensure that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's enforcement powers are applied in a way that respects state regulation of the insurance industry.

Letting states police insurance while Congress naps? Might as well hand the fox the chicken coop keys.
