This bill amends the Investment Company Act of 1940 to exempt from its coverage any issuer whose outstanding securities with respect to a qualifying venture capital fund (other than short-term paper) are beneficially owned by not more than 250 persons.
The bill defines "qualifying venture capital fund" as one with no more than $10 million (annually adjusted for inflation) in invested capital.
The bill was previously introduced in the 114th Congress in 2016 where it passed the House. The previous and current bill differ mainly in clause (2)(C) in their clarifications of the term "qualifying venture capital fund" and "venture capital fund".
