Title

CFPB Dual Mandate and Economic Analysis Act

Summary

CFPB Dual Mandate and Economic Analysis Act This bill establishes the Office of Economic Analysis in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The office must review all proposed guidance, orders, rules, and regulations with respect to their impact on consumer choice, price, and access to credit products. The office must also continue to periodically review these materials and evaluate how well they address the problems that they were intended to address. The CFPB must consider the office's evaluations and identify in each proposed rulemaking the problem to be solved by the rule or regulation and the metrics the CFPB will use to measure the success of the rule or regulation. These metrics must include a measurement of changes regarding consumer access to, and the cost of, consumer financial products and services. Additionally, the bill revises the purpose of the CFPB to include strengthening private sector participation in markets, without government interference or subsidies, in order to increase competition and enhance consumer choice.
