House Republicans on Wednesday voted to repeal an anti-corruption rule the Securities and Exchange Commission instituted last summer requiring energy companies to disclose the taxes and other fees they pay to foreign governments.

The vote came on the same day that former Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, +4.24% chief executive Rex Tillerson was confirmed as secretary of state. As Exxon CEO, Tillerson had lobbied against the so-called “extraction rule.”
