Relating to prohibiting the use of environmental, social, or governance scores.
HB 3922 bans businesses operating in Texas from assigning environmental, social, or governance (ESG) scores to Texas residents for creditworthiness assessments. It specifically prohibits entities organized with shareholders (like corporations) from using these scores, which measure long-term risks related to environmental, social, and governance factors. Violators face losing their right to conduct business in Texas, with the law taking effect on September 1, 2025. The bill targets how businesses evaluate credit risk, not general ESG practices.
