How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would primarily impact small businesses, startups, and investors. If passed, it could make it easier for these companies to access public markets and raise money, but the new exchanges would also be subject to their own regulations. Investors would gain more options to put money into smaller, riskier companies.
