Bill > HRes240

This Resolution sets the rules for the House of Representatives to consider a bill, H.R. 1343, which aims to direct the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. government agency responsible for regulating the securities industry, to change its regulations. Specifically, the bill seeks to raise the minimum financial threshold that triggers a requirement for companies, referred to as "issuers," to disclose information about their employee compensation plans, which are arrangements for providing benefits to employees. The Resolution waives all procedural objections that could prevent the bill from being considered, allows for a specific substitute amendment to be adopted, and limits debate and further amendments before a final vote, with provisions for one hour of debate, a specific additional amendment if offered, and a single motion to send the bill back for further review.
