Law

Creates a new Public Company Advisory Committee inside the SEC to advise on rules for public companies and stock markets.
The committee can weigh in on reporting, corporate governance, shareholder meeting voting, stock trading issues, and raising money.
It is barred from advising on SEC enforcement decisions, meaning it can’t weigh in on investigations or penalties.
The SEC would appoint 10 to 20 members, and at least half must be leaders from public companies (with some finance-related companies excluded).
When the committee makes recommendations, the SEC must publicly respond and say what it plans to do, if anything.
