CFPB Withdraws Proposed Rule on Registry of Nonbanks Using Form Contracts That Waive Consumer Protections

The CFPB withdrew its February 1, 2023 proposed rule that would have required supervised nonbanks to register their use of form-contract terms that waive or limit consumer legal protections. The Bureau says the costs are not justified by speculative benefits and it will take no further action on the proposal; no new obligations are imposed.
