What the bill does

Securities Enforcement Clarity Act of 2025 or the SEC Act of 2025 This bill specifies when separate occurrences of securities law violations must be considered as a single violation for purposes of calculating penalties. Specifically, separate occurrences must be counted as a single violation when the acts in question are the result of (1) a common or a substantially overlapping cause, (2) the same misstatement or omission, or (3) a continuing failure to comply. The bill applies to various violations of securities law, including those involving the registration, offer, and sale of securities; and the conduct of brokers, dealers, and investment advisers.

About this page

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
