Washington D.C., October 30, 2013 — Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) issued the following statement on the House floor today expressing disappointment with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission’s proposed rules to implement the Crowdfunding provisions of the 2012 Jump Start Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act:
Schweikert encourages interested parties to submit their comments to the SEC during the 90-day comment period that began October 23, 2013. Comments can be submitted using the online form found here.
“Please go online, make comments. Help them understand this is supposed to be helping the next generation of small entrepreneurs in this country. Don’t make it 550 pages of bureaucratic legalese. It can be simpler . . . We can do great things in this country –but we can’t do it if the bureaucracy continues to crush our opportunities.”
