Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

Confidential SEC review for issuers
If enacted, any issuer would be able to give the SEC a draft registration privately for staff review before publicly filing. The draft and any changes would have to be filed publicly no later than 10 days before the security lists on a national exchange. The SEC would treat those drafts and related information as confidential and would not be compelled to disclose them under FOIA or section 24. This would take effect upon enactment.
Less financial history for emerging companies
If enacted, an emerging growth company would only need to include financial statements covering not more than the two preceding fiscal years in its registration. This change would apply only when the issuer qualifies as an emerging growth company. This would take effect upon enactment.
