Yes. On September 16, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposed ending its oversight of corporate shareholder votes on topics such as climate change and executive pay.

The proposal is part of a broader shift critics say moves power from investors toward corporate managers; it is now subject to public comment and further SEC action.
