The Rules Committee made in order just one amendment to this bill, which would require advertising materials to disclose information on bonus compensation structures for companies seeking capital.

"In order to help get business owners the capital they need, it is imperative that Washington adopts policies that support functional capital markets, while lessening restrictions and barriers to finding investment," Graves said.
