WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives advanced two Republican-led Financial Services bills: H.R. 2919, the “Improving Investment Research for Small and Emerging Issuers Act,” introduced by Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02), and H.R. 3050, the “Expanding Investment in Small Businesses Act of 2019,” introduced by Congressman Bryan Steil (WI-01).
Each bill requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to conduct a study to ensure our small businesses and entrepreneurs have access to vibrant U.S. capital markets, which provide financing and much needed resources to American job creators of all sizes.
