FCRA Preemption of State Laws: Interpretive Rule Replacing Withdrawn 2022 Rule
Applies to: Consumer reporting agencies, credit report users and furnishers subject to the FCRA; the rule is non-binding guidance on State law preemption.
What to review: No change is mandatory, so compliance may review the CFPB's clarification that the FCRA generally preempts State laws touching broad areas of credit reporting and its confirmed withdrawal of the 2022 interpretive rule, which is non-binding guidance applicable October 28, 2025.
