SIFMA Applauds Passage Of The Improving Disclosure For Investors Act Of 2024 And Broader Capital Formation Package

Date 08/03/2024

SIFMA today issued the following statement from president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. on the passage of the Improving Disclosure for Investors Act of 2024 as part of an important capital formation legislative package, H.R. 2799, the Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023:

“SIFMA commends the House of Representatives for passing the Improving Disclosure for Investors Act of 2024 as an amendment to a broader legislative package focused on enhancing capital formation – H.R. 2799, the Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023. Many of the reforms in the legislation passed today will help strengthen our capital markets, and our economy that depends on them, by reducing regulatory burdens that too often hinder capital formation. Notably, we applaud the sponsors of the Improving Disclosure for Investors Act of 2024, Reps. Bill Huizenga (R-MI), Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), Bryan Steil (R-WI), and Wiley Nickel (D-NC). This bill is an important step in modernizing the SEC’s disclosure delivery regulations to keep pace with changing investor preferences and technological advancements, while maintaining the highest levels of investor protections. Accordingly, it received broad bipartisan support as an amendment to H.R. 2799."
