Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to specify that only pecuniary factors are to be taken into account in determining best interest, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to specify that investment advisers and retirement plan fiduciaries must consider only pecuniary (financial) factors when determining what is in the best interest of their clients or plan participants. The bill requires the Securities and Exchange Commission to revise its rules to implement this change, and prohibits the Department of Labor from finalizing a proposed rule that would have allowed consideration of non-pecuniary factors. The overall goal is to ensure that investment decisions are based solely on financial criteria rather than other social or environmental considerations.
