SA 5090 was submitted by Sen. Alsobrooks and ordered to lie on the table. The amendment concerned lowering costs for consumers, including reinstating previously rescinded funding for the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and prohibiting future layoffs.

Official record shows concrete same-term legislative action by Alsobrooks, but the amendment was only ordered to lie on the table and did not itself restore the CFPB.

CRS reports that P.L. 119-21 reduced the CFPB annual funding cap by 46%, from $823 million under the Dodd-Frank formula in FY2025 to $446 million, and reduced the prior 12% cap figure to 6.5%.

Rather than being restored, CFPB funding authority was reduced in the same Congress, which weighs against fulfillment.

The court found that CFPB leadership ordered employees to stop work on February 10, 2025, and was engaged in a hurried effort to dismantle and disable the agency; the court entered a preliminary injunction to preserve the agency while litigation proceeded.

Court findings show the CFPB was under active dismantling pressure, with preservation dependent on litigation rather than a completed legislative restoration.
