Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This bill extends for six months Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance allowing broker-dealers to receive payments for research services provided to investment managers. Under current law, broker-dealers that receive payments for performing this service must register as investment advisors. However, the SEC through guidance currently waives enforcement against these broker-dealers. This waiver is set to expire on July 3, 2023.
The SEC must report on the impact of continuation or expiration of this guidance.
