HR-2864 : Still Just a Bill

Improving Access to Capital Act

This bill amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to exempt, under Regulation A+, certain fully reporting issuers from specified disclosure requirements. Under current law, Regulation A+ exempts certain smaller offerings from securities registration requirements but applies only to non-reporting issuers.
