End guidance for carbon-credit derivatives

This bill would cancel the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s final guidance on listing voluntary carbon credit derivative contracts. The guidance is the notice at 89 Fed. Reg. 83378, published October 15, 2024. If enacted, that guidance would have no force or effect, so exchanges, brokers, and traders could not rely on it. This could loosen some regulatory expectations but raise legal and market uncertainty. The change would take effect upon enactment and would not alter other CFTC laws or rules.
