Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023 This bill reduces various securities regulations applicable to certain companies, brokers, and advisors. The bill also allows more investors to invest in specified types of ventures. The bill reduces regulations, for example, by establishing an exemption to certain securities regulations for small offerings of securities. Specifically, under the bill, securities registration is not required for a sale of securities if the total amount of securities sold by the issuer during the preceding 12-month period does not exceed $250,000. The bill also allows certain issuers of securities regulated as emerging growth companies to continue operating under these regulations, including those related to reduced disclosures, for an additional period of time. It also raises the limit of total annual gross revenues under which issuers qualify as emerging growth companies to $1.5 billion. The bill allows more investment, for example, by raising the caps on the allowed capital and number of investors under which a fund may qualify as a venture capital fund. Venture capital funds are exempt from certain regulations applicable to other investment firms, including those related to filings, audits, and restricted communications with investors. The bill increases the caps from (1) $10 million to $150 million in capital contributions and commitments, and (2) 250 to 600 allowed investors. In addition, the bill expands who may be considered an accredited investor for purposes of participating in private offerings of securities. Certain unregistered securities may only be offered to accredited investors.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it would make it easier for smaller companies and startups to raise money from investors by reducing certain regulatory requirements. This could increase investment in new and growing businesses. However, it could also reduce protections for less sophisticated investors who may not fully understand the risks of these private investments.
