SEC Announces Spring 2022 Regulatory Agenda

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs today released the Spring 2022 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The report, which includes contributions related to the Securities and Exchange Commission, lists short- and long-term regulatory actions that administrative agencies plan to take. "The U.S. is blessed with the largest, most sophisticated, and most innovative capital markets in the world," said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. "But we cannot take that for granted. As SEC alum Robert Birnbaum and his team said decades ago, 'no regulation can be static in a dynamic society.' That core idea still rings true today. When I think about the SEC's agenda, I’m driven by two public policy goals: continuing to drive efficiency in our capital markets and modernizing our rules for today’s economy and technologies.
