 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Small Entity Update Act

This bill requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to study approaches to reduce the impact of SEC rules on small businesses and other small entities, make appropriate recommendations, and revise applicable rules. 

Specifically, the bill requires the SEC to evaluate the current definition of small entity with respect to SEC rules.

Under the bill, the SEC must provide specific and detailed recommendations to Congress on how the SEC can revise the definition of small entity to (1) align with specified statutory goals, including reducing unnecessary burdens on small entities; and (2) expand the number of entities covered. In addition, the SEC must adjust for inflation every five years any dollar amounts used to define small entities.

The SEC must also revise the applicable rules to implement these recommendations.
