What this amendment would do

SA 3703, also known as the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act, is an amendment proposed by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Van Hollen to be added to bill S. 2296.

The purpose of this amendment is to change the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require certain disclosures from directors, officers, and principal stockholders. Specifically, it aims to:

  • Add every person who is a director or an officer of a foreign private issuer to the group of people required to make disclosures.
  • Require these disclosures to be made electronically and in English.
  • Set a deadline for disclosures for foreign private issuers whose securities were registered under section 12 (subsections b or g) as of the date of enactment.
  • Require the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue or amend regulations within 90 days to carry out these changes.
