Stock Pricing Study: Lower Costs for Investors?

This bill requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to conduct a study. The goal is to examine whether changes in how stock prices are set can reduce costs for individual investors and improve fair competition in the market. The study's findings will help assess if current rules benefit citizens.
Key points
The SEC will study if reducing the minimum price increment between buying and selling stocks (tick size) can lower transaction costs for everyday investors.
The analysis will also assess if current pricing rules create artificially wide spreads that hinder fair competition in the stock market.
The study will examine if identifying non-exchange market centers in trade reports would enhance market transparency and help investors make better decisions.
