    Today, the Commission will consider two actions.

    First, we will consider proposing a rule that would deny certain securities offerings from qualifying for an exemption from registration if the offerings involve certain “felons and other bad actors.”

    Both sets of rules are required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
