Included among the Department’s recent initiatives are the proposal of a new prohibited transaction exemption in connection with the judicial nullification of the amended fiduciary rule, the issuance of a final regulation that will affect environmental, social and governance (known as “ESG”) investment strategies, and the proposal of a regulation that would govern proxy voting. The Department has also issued guidance concerning lifetime income, multiple employer plans, electronic disclosure and the anti-criminal provisions of the so-called “QPAM” Exemption.
