Episode 324: The SEC Pulls Back On Scope-3 Emissions Reporting Requirements

The President gave the annual State of the Union address this week and his war on junk fees was front and center - the same week his Council of Economic Advisiors said that restaurants made up close to 10% of all junk fees.

And the SEC put out their long-awaited climate disclosure regulations and believe it or not, the worst aspects of it were removed.

We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
