                                 H.R.   1219
               Supporting   America's   Innovators  Act  of 2017

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on March 9, 2017


 Under current law, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exempts certain
 issuers of securities from the requirement to register as an investment company and some
regulations that apply to investment companies. H.R. 1219 would expand that exemption
to include a broader set of issuers.

Based on an analysis of information from the SEC about the current scope of the
exemption, CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 1219 would have no significant effect
on the agency's costs or operations because only a relatively small number of companies
would qualify for the broader exemption. Moreover, the SEC is authorized to collect fees
sufficient to offset its annual appropriation; therefore, CBO estimates that the net effect on
discretionary spending would be negligible, assuming appropriation actions consistent
with that authority.

Enacting H.R. 1219 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1219 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1219 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

On March  22, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 444, the Supporting America's
Innovators Act of 2017, as reported by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs on March 13, 2017. The two bills are similar and CBO's estimate of their
budgetary effects is the same.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Stephen Rabent. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
