The suit challenges the CFPB's decision to end the disparate impact standard and limit special purpose credit programs, which are crucial for expanding credit access for marginalized communities. Plaintiffs assert the bureau failed to justify its departure from decades of settled Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) implementation and question the Acting Director's rulemaking authority.
