(Sec. 510) Directs the SEC to study and report to the Congress on: (1) the impact of technological advances and on-line information systems upon securities markets operations (including steps taken by the SEC to facilitate electronic delivery of prospectuses to investors); (2) shareholder proposals and access to proxy statements; (3) the impact of “preferencing” upon investors and the national market system; and (4) the impact of disparate State licensing requirements on associated persons of registered brokers or dealers and methods for States to attain uniformity in such requirements.

Act Notes

[Note 1] An Act (like Appropriations Act FY96, Omnibus) or a resolution cannot become a law in the United States until it has been approved (passed) in identical form by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as signed by the President (but see (5)). If the two bodys of the Congress versions of an Act are not identical, one of the bodies might decide to take a further vote to adopt the bill (see more about the Congress process here). An Act may be pass in identical form with or without amendments and with or without conference. (see more about Enrollment).
[Note 2] Proposals are referred to committees for preliminary consideration, then debated, amended, and passed (or rejected) by the full House or Senate. To prevent endless shuttling of bills between the House and Senate, bills like Appropriations Act FY96, Omnibus are referred to joint committees made up of members of both houses.
[Note 3] For more information regarding this legislative proposal, go to THOMAS, select “Bill Number,” search on (Appropriations Act FY96, Omnibus)
[Note 4] Making appropriations for fiscal year 1996 to make a further downpayment toward a balanced budget, and for other purposes. The current official title of a bill is always present, assigned at introduction (for example, in this case, on 1996-03-05) and can be revised any time. This type of titles are sentences.
[Note 5] The Act is referred to the appropriate committee by the Speaker of any of the two Houses. Bills are placed on the calendar of the committee to which they have been assigned. See Assignment Process.
[Note 6] Regarding exceptions to President´s approval, a bill that is not signed (returned unsigned) by the President can still become law if at lest two thirds of each of the two bodys of the Congress votes to pass it, which is an infrequent case. See also Presidential Veto.
[Note 7] Legislative Proposal types can be: hr, hres, hjres, hconres, s, sres, sjres, sconres. A bill originating in the Senate is designated by the letter “S”, and a bill originating from the House of Representatives begins with “H.R.”, followed, in both cases, by its individual number which it retains throughout all its parliamentary process.
[Note 8] For information regarding related bill/s to Appropriations Act FY96, Omnibus, go to THOMAS.
