H.R. 1675
Encouraging Employee Ownership Act of 2015
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on May 20, 2015
Under current law, public companies must disclose certain information to investors if the
value of securities issued by the company exceeds $5 million. H.R. 1675 would direct the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to raise that amount from $5 million to
$10 million and to adjust the threshold every five years for inflation.
CBO expects that implementing H.R. 1675 would require the SEC to issue new rules to
adjust the disclosure threshold. Based on information from the SEC, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 1675 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2016-2020 period. Under
current law, the SEC is authorized to collect fees sufficient to offset its appropriation each
year; therefore, we estimate that the net cost to the SEC would be negligible, assuming
appropriation actions consistent with that authority. Enacting H.R. 1675 would not affect
direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1675 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.
This estimate was prepared by Susan Willie and Ben Christopher. The estimate was
approved by Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
