Key Points

  • Raises the cap for certain small-company public fundraising from $50 million to $150 million.
  • Requires the Securities and Exchange Commission to adjust that $150 million limit for inflation every 2 years, using the Consumer Price Index.
  • Makes sure any other limit changes the SEC makes stack on top of the inflation adjustment, not instead of it.
  • Practical impact: growing companies could raise more money from investors without doing a full traditional public offering, which may help expansion and hiring.
