SEC Act of 2025

# SEC Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Stop Environmental Calculations Act of 2025 would prevent the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from requiring publicly traded companies to disclose climate-related information to investors unless that information is directly material—meaning it could reasonably affect an investor's decision to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Currently, the SEC has been developing rules that would require companies to report various climate-related risks and impacts. This bill would block those requirements unless the SEC can demonstrate the climate information is financially material to investors. **Who It Affects** This legislation primarily affects publicly traded companies and investors.

Companies would potentially face fewer climate-related reporting requirements, while investors might receive less environmental information about the companies they own or are considering investing in. The bill also limits the SEC's regulatory authority in this area. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (as of the 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Sponsor Stephanie Bice is a Republican representative from Oklahoma.
