            <summary-text><![CDATA[<p><strong>Amendment for Crowdfunding Capital Enhancement and Small-business Support Act of 2025 or the ACCESS Act of 2025 </strong></p><p>This bill expands the exemption from certain disclosures applicable to crowdfunding issuers with specified target offering amounts. (Crowdfunding is used to raise capital through a large number of individuals investing potentially small amounts of money.) Under current law, crowdfunding issuers that have target offering amounts of $100,000 or less are not required to make available financial statements reviewed by an independent public accountant. The bill increases that amount to $250,000 and allows the Securities and Exchange Commission to increase this amount to no more than $400,000 upon recommendation of the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation and the Office of the Investor Advocate.</p>]]></summary-text>
