On February 11, 2025, Acting SEC Chairman Mark T. Uyeda issued a Statement announcing that he has directed the SEC staff to request that the Eighth Circuit not schedule arguments for the consolidated litigation challenging the SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules.  According to the Statement this will “provide time for the Commission to deliberate and determine the appropriate next steps in these cases.”

You can read more, including concerns about the lack of statutory authority for the Commission to promulgate these rules, in the Statement.
