Tracking the New Administration's CFPB: Key Regulation Updates and Reference Guide

Updated 05.28.25

During the final hours of the Biden Administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released several rules and proposed rules and was in active litigation defending its earlier rules. We created this quick reference guide to all the major regulations and related litigation activities that are still in flux after the administration change.

This reference guide replaces DWT's prior chart, which tracked the impact of the "freeze" that was instituted when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the then-acting director of the CFPB, emailed staff on February 3 directing employees to cease all rulemaking activities, delay the implementation of rules that have not yet taken effect, and halt any actions related to enforcement, litigation, and public communications.
