Summary
Keeps the SEC’s power under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the same, unless this subchapter very clearly says otherwise, and does not change anyone’s rights, duties, or liabilities under those laws. It also leaves other federal, state, and local agencies with their existing authority over people or securities, unless that authority conflicts with this subchapter or its rules.
