The SEC published its Fall 2024 Reg-Flex Agenda. Most notably, and in comparison to the Spring 2024 Agenda:
· Issuance of a proposed rule on human capital management disclosure was pushed back from October 2024 to October 2025.
· Issuance of a proposed rule on corporate board diversity disclosure was pushed back from April 2025 to October 2025
· Final amendments to Rule 14a-8 are slated for October 2025 rather than April 2025 as reflected on the Spring 2024 Agenda. (Society comment letter here).
· Proxy plumbing and conflict minerals rulemakings remain on the SEC’s long-term agenda.
Notably, the agendas were developed well before the outcome of the recent election, which is expected to impact the SEC’s priorities and activities.
