Support for H.R. 37: Job Creation Act

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, representing over 3 million businesses, strongly supports H.R. 37 which includes bipartisan measures to promote job creation and reduce burdens on small businesses. The bill would exempt commercial end users from some Dodd-Frank regulations, promote capital formation, and clarify regulations for CLO markets. It would also allow private company employees to more easily own company shares. The Chamber urges passage of the bill to address unintended regulation consequences and enhance business ability to expand and hire.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:


The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the worlds largest business federation representing the
interests of more than three million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state
and local chambers and industry associations, and dedicated to promoting, protecting, and
defending Americas free enterprise system, strongly supports H.R. 37, the Promoting Job
Creation and Reducing Small Business Burdens Act, which includes a number of bipartisan
measures that would help promote capital formation and job creation, allow commercial end
users the ability to manage risk, and provide much-needed certainty for businesses by making
corrections to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank
Act).
The Chamber is particularly supportive of provisions within these bills that would exempt
commercial end users from certain regulatory requirements contained in the Dodd-Frank Act, a
mandate that regulatory agencies have struggled to implement despite the clear intent of
Congress. Additionally, the Chamber also appreciates a number of provisions in these bills that
would help promote capital formation in our economy, including a much-needed clarification of
regulatory obligations for the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market under Section 619
of the Dodd-Frank Act (The Volcker Rule) and a provision that would give employees of
privately-held companies a greater ability to participate in the success of their employer through
owning shares of the company.
The Chamber strongly supports the passage of H.R. 37, which would address some of the
unintended consequences of regulation and enhance the ability of businesses of all sizes to
expand and hire new employees. The Chamber may consider including votes on, or in
relation to, this bill in our annual How They Voted scorecard.
Sincerely,

R. Bruce Josten
