Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda: See You After the Election!
The SEC’s Spring 2024 Reg Flex Agenda was released yesterday, and it looks like most of its rulemaking activity has been pushed out to after the election. Here’s where things stand on some of the potential SEC rules that we’ve been following:
Final Rule Stage
– EDGAR Filer Access & Account Management (October 2024)
– Rule 14a-8 Amendments (April 2025)Proposed Rule Stage
– Human Capital Management Disclosures (October 2024)
– Dodd Frank Section 956 Incentive Based Compensation Arrangements (October 2024)
– Corporate Board Diversity (April 2025)
– Reg D and Form D Improvements (April 2025)
– Revisions to Definition of Securities Held of Record (April 2025)
– Rule 144 Holding Period (April 2025)
As a reminder, these dates signify general timeframes. New final or proposed rules could come before or after the dates suggested in the agenda. The Reg Flex Agenda only gives insight into the priorities of the Chair as of the date it was submitted — it’s not a definitive guide for anyone trying to predict SEC rulemaking for purposes of specific board agendas, budgets and workflows.
