                designated, the following:
                    ``(B) Limitation.--With respect to a person 
                regulated by a State insurance regulator--
                            ``(i) if that person is offering or 
                        providing a consumer financial product or 
                        service, the Bureau may not enforce this title 
                        with respect to that person to the extent that 
                        the person is engaged in the business of 
                        insurance; or

                        authorities are transferred under subtitle F or 
                        H, the authority of the Bureau to enforce that 
                        law with respect to that person shall be 
                        narrowly construed to the extent that the 
                        person is engaged in the business of 
                        insurance.''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(4) Rule of construction.--The enforcement of this title 
        shall be broadly construed in favor of the authority of a State 
        insurance regulator with respect to a person regulated by the 
        State insurance regulator.''.
