Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
This bill amends the Securities Act of 1933 to allow an individual to invest in private issuers if the individual signs an attestation that they understand the risks. The Securities and Exchange Commission must adopt a standardized attestation form by rule within one year, and the form cannot exceed two pages.
Progressives emphasize investor-protection shortfalls; conservatives emphasize personal choice and capital formation.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise substantive amendment to the Securities Act that authorizes an attestation‑based path for individuals to invest in private issuers and directs the SEC to implement it by rule within one year.
