HJRES 127 United States House · 118th Congress

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

HJRES 127 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule requiring public companies to standardize climate-related financial disclosures. It seeks to block the SEC’s March 2024 rule (89 Fed. Reg. 21668), which would mandate consistent reporting on climate risks for investors. If passed, this resolution would prevent the SEC rule from taking effect, directly affecting publicly traded companies required to comply with the proposed disclosure standards. The bill uses a specific congressional process under Title 5, U.S. Code, to nullify the rule without creating new regulations.
