H.J.Res. 90: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission relating to "Commission Guidance Regarding the Listing of Voluntary Carbon Credit Derivative Contracts".
H.J.Res. 90 is a resolution that seeks to overturn a 2024 guidance document issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This guidance currently provides standards for exchanges that list "voluntary carbon credit" derivative contracts, which are financial products tied to carbon offset projects.
If passed, this resolution would nullify the CFTC’s guidance, meaning the specific criteria the agency set for these financial products would no longer be in effect. This primarily affects the financial exchanges that list these contracts and the companies that trade them, rather than individual retail consumers.
This resolution does not ban carbon credits or carbon trading itself. It specifically targets the regulatory framework the CFTC established to oversee how these financial products are listed on public exchanges.
H.J.Res. 90 是一项旨在推翻美国商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 2024 年发布的一份指导文件的决议。该指导文件目前为列出“自愿碳信用”衍生品合约的交易所提供了标准，这些衍生品是与碳抵消项目挂钩的金融产品。
如果该决议获得通过，CFTC 的这项指导将被废除，这意味着该机构为这些金融产品设定的具体标准将不再有效。这主要影响列出这些合约的金融交易所及相关交易公司，而非普通个人消费者。
该决议并未禁止碳信用或碳交易本身。它仅针对 CFTC 为监管这些金融产品如何在公共交易所上市而建立的监管框架。
