On July 17, 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “JOBS and Investor Confidence Act of 2018.” This bill is the third piece of the “Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act” legislation, and its aim is to reform capital markets to assist small businesses and entrepreneurs in accessing capital. The bill is set to be voted on by the Senate during the fall and will become effective 90 days after it is signed by the President.
On December 4, 2015 President Obama signed into law the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (the “FAST Act”) which, despite its name, includes a number of provisions designed to facilitate capital formation and modernize and simplify certain disclosure obligations under federal securities laws. The changes were effective immediately.
