Bill 119 HR 1309, also known as the Natural Asset Companies Prohibition Act, aims to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to prevent exchanges from conducting transactions involving securities issued by natural asset companies.

The bill seeks to address concerns about the potential risks and uncertainties associated with investing in natural asset companies, which are businesses that derive their value from natural resources such as water, land, and minerals. Proponents of the bill argue that these companies may pose environmental and financial risks that could harm investors and the broader economy.
