Bill information
Summary
To authorize private parties to compel the Securities and Exchange Commission to seek sanctions by filing civil actions, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would let private citizens and companies sue to force the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to take enforcement action against alleged violators. Currently, only the SEC itself decides whether to pursue sanctions—legal penalties—against people or firms breaking securities laws. The bill would create a new private right of action, meaning regular parties could bring lawsuits to compel the agency to act. It was introduced in 2023 and remains in the early stage of the legislative process.
