U.S. House resolution bans ESG guidance in retirement plans, moves to Senate

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution to overturn a Department of Labor rule passed in November allowing for, but not mandating, environmental, social, and governance investing in retirement plans, reports Plansponsor. Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., offered the resolution amid calls by both Republican House and Senate members in recent months for a repeal of the DOL guidance, saying it would harm everyday retirement savers.
