Right to Choose Court: Limiting SEC Administrative Proceedings.

This law grants individuals accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the right to move their case from an internal administrative proceeding to a federal court. If a citizen or company believes the administrative process is unfair, they can demand its termination within 20 days. Consequently, the SEC must file the case in a traditional civil court, ensuring standard judicial procedures and due process protections.
Key points
Individuals accused by the SEC can compel the Commission to terminate internal administrative proceedings.
Cases involving financial penalties and cease and desist orders will be decided in federal courts, not by internal SEC judges.
This change aims to strengthen due process rights for parties under SEC investigation.
