Professor Mark Kubisch's law review article, "ESG, Public Pensions, and Compelled Speech," (SSRN) 11 Tex. A&M L. Rev. 71 (2023), is cited in a report released by the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation.  The committee provides U.S. and global policymakers with intellectual leadership on the most critical financial regulatory policy issues.  The committee’s membership includes thirty seven leaders drawn from across the financial sector, including banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, private funds and insurance, as well as academics.  The committee co-chairs are R. Glenn Hubbard, dean emeritus of Columbia Business School, and John L. Thornton, former chairman of the Brookings Institution. The committee’s president is Hal S. Scott, emeritus Nomura Professor of International Financial Systems at Harvard Law School and president of the Program on International Financial Systems. 

Founded in 2006, the committee undertook its first major report on the U.S. capital markets at the request of U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Henry M. Paulson. Over fifteen years later, the committee continues to develop and promote policy reforms that would enhance opportunities for U.S. investors and promote economic growth.

Professor Kubisch's article is cited repeatedly in the committee's October 2024 report, titled "An Analysis of the Constitutionality of State ESG Laws."
