H.R. 7625 · 118th Congress
RESPOND Act of 2024
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Restructuring Environmentally Sound Pensions in Order to Negate Disaster Act of 2024 or the RESPOND Act of 2024
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Mar 12, 2024
Restructuring Environmentally Sound Pensions in Order to Negate Disaster Act of 2024 or the RESPOND Act of 2024
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board must establish an advisory panel on the economics of climate change to advise and report on how the board can implement investment strategies that align with the United States’ goal of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The board must then assess whether implementing low-carbon investment strategies is profitable and consistent with its duties.
If the board is unable to find that such strategies would be profitable, the bill establishes the Climate Choice Stock Index Fund as part of the Federal Employees Retirement System's Thrift Savings Plan. This fund is established as an investment portfolio that performs similarly to other plan index funds, but does not invest in fossil fuels.
Finally, the Federal Reserve Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission must annually report on the economic costs of climate change.
