What: On May 12, 2025, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced it is withdrawing 67 guidance documents, including policy statements, interpretive rules, and advisory opinions.
Why: The CFPB began a review of its guidance documents in April 2025 and has identified 67 guidance documents that should not be enforced, and thus withdrawn, while the review is ongoing. The CFPB notes that the withdrawal of these 67 guidance documents is not necessarily final and that it will continue its review of all guidance materials to determine whether the guidance documents should be retained.
