A bill to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to create a safe harbor for finders and private placement brokers, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4493, also known as the "Finders and Private Placement Brokers Safe Harbor Act," aims to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to provide a safe harbor for finders and private placement brokers.
