Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission related to "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors".

This joint resolution prospectively nullifies the rule proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission titled The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors on April 11, 2022. The proposed rule requires registrants to disclose their climate-related risks.

Bill 117 hjres 88 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding climate-related disclosures for investors. The rule in question, titled "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors," seeks to require companies to provide more detailed information about their climate-related risks and opportunities to investors.

If passed, this bill would essentially nullify the SEC's rule and prevent it from being implemented. Supporters of the bill argue that the rule would place unnecessary burdens on companies and could potentially harm the economy. They believe that the SEC should not be involved in regulating climate-related disclosures.

Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that climate change poses a significant risk to the economy and that investors have a right to know how companies are addressing this issue. They believe that the SEC's rule would provide much-needed transparency and accountability in the financial sector. Overall, Bill 117 hjres 88 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over the role of government regulation in addressing climate change and protecting investors.
