On June 3, 2024, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued the Registry of Nonbank Covered Persons Subject to Certain Agency and Court Orders Final Rule (“the Final Rule”).

Early in October, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America Ltd (CFPB v. CFSA). The appeal stems from a 2021 Western District of Texas ruling upholding the Payday Lending rule and the CFPB's funding structure, which the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals later partially reversed. The Fifth Circuit held the CFPB's entire funding structure unconstitutional because "Congress's cession of its power of the purse to the Bureau violates the Appropriations Clause and the Constitution's underlying structural separation of powers[,]" and thereby vacated the Pay Day Lending Rule.

On February 28th, 2023, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two related cases, Biden v. Nebraska and Department of Education v. Brown, both of which challenge President Biden's one-time student loan forgiveness program.
