What this bill would do
This bill, known as the Small Business Investor Capital Access Act, proposes amendments to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. It specifically aims to change how certain private fund advisers are exempted or required to report. The legislation increases a specific dollar threshold from $150,000,000 to $175,000,000. Additionally, it mandates that the Commission adjust this dollar amount every five years. This adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers to ensure the threshold reflects economic changes.
