Summary of Bill HRES 473

Bill 117 H.Res. 473 is a resolution in the US Congress that sets the rules for considering two separate bills. The first bill, H.R. 256, aims to repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. This resolution, passed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, gave the President the authority to use military force against Iraq. The bill seeks to revoke this authorization, which has been in place for nearly two decades.

The second bill, H.R. 1187, focuses on financial transparency and sustainability. It proposes to require public companies to disclose additional material information to investors. This information would help investors make more informed decisions about the companies they invest in. Additionally, the bill establishes a Sustainable Finance Advisory Committee, which would provide guidance on sustainable finance practices.

Overall, Bill 117 H.Res. 473 addresses important issues related to military authorization and financial transparency. The resolution sets the stage for a debate and vote on these two bills in the US Congress.
