It calls on the SEC to establish a proactive agenda to advance the mission of protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and to facilitate capital formation.
Michigan state employees will not be forced to pay 4 percent of their income to participate in pensions, ruled a Michigan Court of Appeals. The decision upholds a lower court ruling from October 2012, and finds the entire 2011 law unconstitutional.
California Democrats introduced a bill in the state senate urging state pensions CalPERS and CalSTRS not to invest future pension funds in Russia, citing that governments treatment of LGBT people.
Ten Senate Democrats push for a delay in the Department of Labor's fiduciary ruling until after the SEC decides to hand down its own version.
