WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) issued the following statement introducing the ESG Rule Prevention Act to halt the Biden administration's attempts to implement radical Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) regulations in our federal agencies. This bill would prohibit any federal agency from requiring the disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions by an individual or company as a condition for eligibility for federal contracts—additionally, the measure bars agencies from mandating emission reduction targets and procedures from prospective federal contractors.
“It's no secret that superfluous decrees and regulations bog down our nation, and the addition of ESG rules by Democrats dramatically expands the reach of unelected federal agencies and diverts the attention of our agencies towards woke activism. The federal procurement marketplace must operate without the heavy hand of egregious policies that raise regulatory costs, hinder competition, and ultimately impact the American taxpayer. Heading into the 118TH Congress, I look forward to championing legislation to eradicate EGS rules in corporate America and throughout the federal government.”
