Congressional Research Service, Jan 7, 2025Securities Enforcement Clarity Act of 2025 or the SEC Act of 2025
This bill specifies when separate occurrences of securities law violations must be considered as a single violation for purposes of calculating penalties. Specifically, separate occurrences must be counted as a single violation when the acts in question are the result of (1) a common or a substantially overlapping cause, (2) the same misstatement or omission, or (3) a continuing failure to comply.
The bill applies to various violations of securities law, including those involving the registration, offer, and sale of securities; and the conduct of brokers, dealers, and investment advisers.
Face Value
as introducedHow much of this bill its name accounts for.
