But it is at the forefront of the Republican Party’s concerns, reflecting its leaders’ determination to prevent any such requirement from taking effect. In April, Ann Wagner, a Republican congresswoman, introduced a bill “to prohibit the Securities and Exchange Commission from issuing rules requiring the disclosure of an issuer’s expenditures for political activities.”
SEC主席怀特（Mary Jo White）否认了关于该规则马上会被实施的传闻，她最近对律师说，这个问题并不在最优先事项名单中。但它是共和党关注问题的核心，反映出该党领袖阻止类似要求出台的决心。4月，共和党议员瓦格纳（Ann Wagner）引入了一个法案“以禁止证券和交易委员会发布要求披露发行者政治活动支出的规则。”
