Summary of Bill HJRES 88

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.

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.
