Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act

The Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act would require the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to specifically investigate and report on the unique challenges rural small businesses face when trying to secure investment and funding. By including these findings in an annual report to Congress, the bill aims to identify legal or economic barriers that prevent rural entrepreneurs from growing their companies. For citizens in rural communities, this legislation is intended to ensure their local economies are not overlooked by federal financial regulators and to help create a more level playing field for job creation outside of major metropolitan areas.
