Officially: Corporate Governance Fairness Act
The Corporate Governance Fairness Act would make proxy advisory firms register with the SEC as investment advisers, subjecting them to regular inspections and conflict-of-interest rules. Small firms under $5 million in revenue are exempt. The SEC must report to Congress on whether these protections are working.
