On May 25th, the House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) reported HR 10 out of committee. The next stop for this bill will be when it is scheduled for a vote by the full House, before heading to the US Senate. Passage of this small but important bill will codify the regulatory relief envisioned in the SEC M&A Broker No Action Letter, and will harmonize federal law with coming changes in state securities laws. Click below to read the complete text of HR 10, The Financial CHOICE Act. Your US Representative urgently needs to hear from YOU that this bill is important to you and to buyers and sellers of privately held businesses in your state.

We urge you to write your congressman to support HR 477. The Financial CHOICE Act is expected to easily pass the full House, but is likely to run into significant opposition in the Senate because many of its provisions would roll-back much of the Dodd-Frank Act.

UPDATE: On Thursday, May 4th, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) completed its mark-up of HR 10, the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017, and voted to report the bill favorably out of committee to the floor of the full House. The language of HR 477, The Small Business Mergers, Acquisitions, Sales and Brokerage Simplification Act of 2017, is included as Title IV, Subtitle A of the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017. Click link to the complete bill: The Financial CHOICE... Act is expected to easily pass the full House, but is likely to run into significant opposition in the Senate because many of its provisions would roll-back much of the Dodd-Frank Act. These provisions face strong opposition from Democrats in both chambers. Indeed, during the mark-up of HR 10, there were many amendments proposed to remove or restrict portions of the bill which relate to the Dodd-Frank roll-backs. It's worth noting, however, that there were no amendments proposed to our portion of the bill. BOTTOM LINE: While all of this is generally encouraging, your US Representative still needs to hear from YOU that HR 477 specifically is important to you, and to buyers and sellers of privately held businesses in your state. Passage of this small but important bill will codify the regulatory relief envisioned in the SEC M&A Broker No Action Letter, and will harmonize federal law with coming changes in state securities laws.
