CFPB in Transition: Leadership Shifts, Innovation, and the Future of Rulemaking
Description
In collaboration with Husch Blackwell
Over the last few years, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has adopted a proactive approach to rulemaking, issuing numerous final and proposed rules, interpretive guidance, most recently on open banking, Earned Wage Access (EWA) and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) and has aggressively pursued enforcement actions in the name of consumer protection. With the upcoming change in leadership following the election of President Donald Trump, the CFPB is poised for a significant shift in its policy direction and agency priorities. As a relatively young agency, the CFPB has only seen a handful of transitions, and the political shift in Congress has left many questions about the future of its initiatives. This webinar, led by experts at Husch Blackwell, will explore how the leadership and policy changes under the new administration will in fluence the CFPB's rulemaking efforts. It will examine the potential impact of these changes on key sectors and discuss the broader implications for businesses and consumers as the CFPB adapts and its recent regulatory actions examined.
