hr 2930 - entrepreneur access to capital act
hr 2930 exempts startups raising less than $1 million in venture capital from small investors from sec registraiton and oversight.
Not a jobs bill. An anti-regulatory bill.
hr 2940 - access to capital for job creators act
hr 2940 repeals prohibitions on solicitation or advertising of a securities offering. It's a companion to hr 2930, and is intended to allow people with no relationship to a startup company to invest in it without any oversight by the sec. Let's call this and its evil twins hr 2930 and hr 1965 the "ponzi scheme coverup acts of 2011"
hr 1965 - securities laws amendment
hr 1965 changes the shareholder threshhold for sec registration from 500 to 2000 shareholders. It's not a jobs bill. It's a "hide from the sec" bill. Its companion,
hr 1970, would exempt sec registration of public offerings under $50 million rather than the current $5 million threshold.
many more epa acts
so many they don't deserve to be broken down individually.
hr 2273 removes
coal ash regulation from the epa and hands it to the states.
hr 2681 would put a legislative stay on cement manufacturing emission standards.
hr 2250 would put a legislative stay on epa boiler mact rules.
hr 2401 would require analysis of all epa regulations relating to air, waste, water and climate change.
hr 2018 would restrict epa from issuing any revisions to existing water standards or issuing a new standard for a pollutant if the state has already adopted one or there is an existing standard in place. In other words, ignore any new scientific research after an initial standard has been set.
hr 2021 amends the clean air act to open oil and gas exploration off the alaska coast.
hr 910 strips the epa of authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the clean air act, a direct assault on efforts to limit man-made contributions to climate change.
hr 872 expands the use of pesticides, fungicides and rodent without epa approval.
many more oil and gas drilling acts
there is
hr 1231, which would require the administration to allow offshore oil and gas drilling and exploration in order to meet set domestic production goals, effectively forcing the moratorium on offshore drilling to be lifted to meet goals.
hr 1229 requires the energy secretary to consider any offshore drilling permits within 30 days of receiving it and provide application denials in writing within 60 days of the application. Another "forced moratorium lift" bill.
hr 1230 forces sales of oil leases in the gulf of mexico and outer continental shelf of virginia. It also lifts requirements for environmental impact statements and grandfathers in a 2007 document as authority for environmental impact.
special interest legislation, or pandering to corporate interests
- hr 1904 proposes an exchange of land so that resolution copper, llc can mine copper on what is now part of the tonto national forest.
- hj res 37 is a resolution of disapproval on net neutrality.
- hr 2587 prohibits the nlrb from restricting where an employer can locate. This is in response to the nlrb's objection to the boeing plant relocation to south carolina, a right-to-work state.
