Summary

The bill amends the 1934 Securities Exchange Act to give a specific definition of a dealer as anyone who buys securities from customers for their own account and later sells securities they have bought for their own account. It also creates a transition period requiring courts and the SEC to vacate orders or judgments that would not have occurred under the new definition. The changes take effect 30 days after enactment.
