OCC Raises Concerns with California's Climate Disclosure Laws
Why this matters
This is a press release announcing a letter from the OCC to the California Air Resources Board. It communicates the OCC's legal position and urges CARB to clarify that federally chartered banks are exempt, but it neither seeks public comment nor imposes obligations. It is therefore classified as news with no urgency. The content concerns climate-related disclosure requirements, which map to ESG / Sustainability and Reporting & Disclosure, and it is limited to federally chartered banks.
