Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to create an Office of Small Business inside each SEC division that writes rules. Each of these new offices would work with the SEC's existing Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation. Together they would coordinate on rules and policy priorities related to how businesses raise money (capital formation).
