Despite receiving a record-setting deluge of 600,000 public comments, the Securities and Exchange Commission is unlikely to address rulemaking that would require companies to disclose their spending on politicians and lobbying efforts.
According to reporting by the Washington Post, the SEC will not include political disclosures in its forthcoming report on rulemaking priorities for 2014. Each year, prior to the start of the year, the Commission details it’s expected pace of rule making in a report to the White House’s Office of Budget Management.
