Study would examine costs for smaller companies to offer public shares, affecting investors.
This bill would ask a government watchdog to study how much it costs smaller companies to sell shares to the public. The study would check how these costs affect regular investors and how easy it is to get shares from these companies. A report with what they find and ideas for changes would go to Congress in about a year.
Today, there is no federal requirement for a detailed study on the costs small and medium-sized companies face when offering public shares. If this bill becomes law, the Comptroller General would be required to carry out such a study, working with the SEC and FINRA. This study would then lead to a report and recommendations for Congress within about 360 days.
