Stop Private Equity Harms Resolution

HRES 1207 is a House Resolution that expresses support for protecting Americans from the perceived harmful effects of private equity firms, particularly in essential sectors like housing, child care, healthcare, energy, and nursing homes. The resolution recognizes the need for a comprehensive plan to address these issues. This plan includes raising staffing, safety, and pay standards in care industries, ending taxpayer subsidies for institutional investors buying homes, and guaranteeing legal counsel for tenants. It also calls for greater transparency of private equity ownership, strengthened antitrust reviews, and support for alternative, non-private equity providers in these critical sectors.
