Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed three pieces of bipartisan financial services legislation to facilitate capital formation and mint a commemorative coin in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps.
The financial services bills passed by the House include:
H.R. 2622, a bill to amend the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to codify certain Securities and Exchange Commission no-action letters that exclude brokers and dealers compensated for certain research services from the definition of investment adviser, and for other, sponsored by Rep. Pete Sessions (TX-17), will strengthen American capital markets by providing U.S. broker-dealers relief from international regulations such as MiFID and MiFID II, preventing a reduction in investment research that would harm investment managers and the retail investor customers they serve.

Young Kim (CA-40), will allow the SEC’s Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation to become a more impactful voice in support of American entrepreneurs and capital formation by enabling the Advocate to engage with American small businesses with less friction.
