Proxy votes allow shareholders to vote on company matters when they cannot attend meetings; consent solicitations are written requests for shareholder approval.

It affects investment firms, mutual funds, and other entities that vote on behalf of shareholders. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of the legislative process.
