A DOL rule proposal that would clarify the duties of ERISA plan
fiduciaries on proxy voting was published in the Federal Register.
As previously covered, the proposed rule would
affirmatively require fiduciaries not to expend resources on
determining how to vote on issues where the determination and vote
would not economically impact the plan.
Comments on the proposal must be submitted by October 5,
2020.
