AI Summary

This bill clarifies that an issuer (a company that issues securities) may exclude a shareholder proposal from its proxy materials pursuant to section 240.14a-8(i) of the Code of Federal Regulations, regardless of whether the proposal relates to a significant social policy issue. This means that companies would have more flexibility to exclude shareholder proposals that deal with social policy matters, without having to consider whether those matters are deemed "significant" under the relevant regulations.
