     PROMOTING JOB CREATION AND REDUCING SMALL BUSINESS BURDENS ACT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 37) to make technical corrections to 
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, to 
enhance the ability of small and emerging growth companies to access 
capital through public and private markets, to reduce regulatory 
burdens, and for other purposes, will now resume.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mr. MOULTON. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
  Mr. MOULTON. I am opposed in its current form.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to 
recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mr. Moulton moves to recommit the bill H.R. 37 to the 
     Committee on Financial Services with instructions to report 
     the same back to the House forthwith, with the following 
     amendment:
       Page 3, before line 1, insert the following:

     SEC. 3. BAD ACTOR DISQUALIFICATIONS.

       (a) In General.--A person may not make use of the 
     regulatory exemptions under this Act if such person--
       (1) has been convicted of providing assistance, either 
     directly or indirectly, to a terrorist organization or a 
     state sponsor of terrorism;
       (2) has been made subject to any judicial or administrative 
     decree or order arising out of a governmental action that 
     determined that the person provided assistance, either 
     directly or indirectly, to a terrorist organization or a 
     state sponsor of terrorism; or
       (3) is affiliated with another person who has been 
     convicted of providing assistance described under paragraph 
     (1) or who has been the subject of a decree or order 
     described under paragraph (2).
       (b) Regulatory Exemptions Under This Act Defined.--For 
     purposes of this section, the term ``regulatory exemptions 
     under this Act'' means the following:
       (1) The exemptions provided under section 4(s)(e)(4) of the 
     Commodity Exchange Act and section 15F(e)(4) of the 
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as added by title I.
       (2) The exceptions for affiliates provided under section 
     2(h)(7)(D)(i) of the Commodity Exchange Act and section 
     3C(g)(4)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as added 
     by title II.
       (3) The registration threshold for savings and loan holding 
     companies provided under section 12(g) of the Securities 
     Exchange Act of 1934 and the exemption from filing for 
     savings and loan holding companies provided for under section 
     15(d) of such Act, as added by title III.
       (4) The registration exemption for mergers and acquisition 
     brokers provided under section 15(b) of the Securities 
     Exchange Act of 1934, as added by title IV.
       (5) The exemption from XBRL requirements provided under 
     title VII.
       (6) The conformance period for certain collateralized loan 
     obligations provided under section 13(c)(2)(B) of the Bank 
     Holding Company Act of 1956, as added by title VIII.
       (7) The increase in the dollar amount from $5,000,000 to 
     $10,000,000 under section 230.701(e) of title 17, Code of 
     Federal Regulations, required by title XI.
       Page 30, line 2, insert after the period the following:

     In issuing such rule, the Commission shall not eliminate any 
     requirement to disclose--
       (1) a conviction, including a conviction of providing 
     assistance, either directly or indirectly, to terrorist 
     organizations or state sponsors of terrorism; or
       (2) a judicial or administrative decree or order arising 
     out of a governmental action, including a decree or order 
     that determined that the person provided assistance, either 
     directly or indirectly, to terrorist organizations or state 
     sponsors of terrorism.

  Mr. HENSARLING (during the reading). Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous 
consent to dispense with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Texas?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Massachusetts is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. MOULTON. Madam Speaker, this is the final amendment to the bill, 
which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, 
the bill will immediately proceed to final passage as amended.
  From Paris to Boston, New York to London, we have seen in recent 
weeks and years that the threat of terrorism in our world remains 
constant. All Americans must remain vigilant, and this Congress must do 
everything in its power to prevent another terrorist attack.
  History shows that leveraging America's economic strength is one of 
our Nation's best tools to combat the scourge of terrorism. We have 
forced rogue regimes like Iran to the negotiating table with strong 
economic sanctions. We have punished bad actors in Russia and North 
Korea by cutting off their access to global financial markets. And we 
ought to ensure that no one convicted of aiding and abetting 
terrorists, or state sponsors of terror, can take advantage of our 
financial system.
  That is what my amendment does. It simply makes clear that no one who 
has been convicted of providing assistance, either directly or 
indirectly, to a terrorist organization or a state sponsor of terrorism 
can make use of the exemptions in the underlying bill.
  The bill before us today is complex. It is a complex piece of 
legislation that includes measures that previously passed this House 
with large bipartisan support as well as other more controversial 
provisions.
  The American people did not send us to Congress to find areas where 
we disagree. Our constituents sent us to Congress to get things done 
for all Americans. We could have moved forward today with a legislative 
package that includes commonsense reforms that protect consumers and 
create the conditions for economic growth. Reasonable people may 
disagree on the merits of this bill, but we should all be able to agree 
that those who support terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism 
should never use our financial system to their benefit. My amendment 
prevents this from happening.
  I urge a ``yes'' vote on the motion to recommit, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to the motion to 
recommit. I suppose I have some good news for the gentleman who offered 
it, and that is there are numerous bad actor provisions already within 
our Federal securities law. So, with the possible exception of the 
unconstitutional power grab of our President in granting amnesty and 
possibly allowing new bad actors to enter our country, I think that the 
motion to recommit is probably largely irrelevant.
  Let's get down to the substance of the matter, and that is, Madam 
Speaker, here is an idea that is worthy of the American people. That 
idea is: Why don't we work on a bipartisan basis to promote job 
creation and reduce small business burdens?
  That is exactly what H.R. 37 does. We all know it is a rollup of 11 
simple, modest bills, all of which have passed this body with huge, 
huge bipartisan support. H.R. 634 passed 411-12; H.R. 5471 passed by 
voice vote; H.R. 801 passed 417-4; H.R. 2274, 422-0, Madam Speaker.
  So this passed in the last Congress. Unfortunately, Senator Reid 
didn't take it up. Maybe one of the reasons that his party lost the 
last election is because of the obstruction that the former Senate 
majority leader imposed on the American people.
  Last week, it came within a dozen votes of passing. It would have 
passed, Madam Speaker, but so many of my friends on the other side of 
the aisle apparently were for it before they were against it, and they 
changed their vote. So why the change of heart? Madam Speaker, there 
was a change of heart because the left hand doesn't know what the far 
left hand is doing.
  Three of these bills represent very modest clarifications or 
modifications of the 2,000-page Dodd-Frank Act. And to the ultraleft, 
the ultraliberal friends, Dodd-Frank is no longer policy. It is no 
longer philosophy. It is an article of religious faith. It is sacred 
text. It was chiseled in stone. It came down from Mount Sinai.
  Meanwhile, the community banks and the Main Street businesses that

[[Page H395]]

are trying to put America back to work are suffering under the sheer 
weight, load, volume, complexity, and cost of the regulatory burden 
that has been imposed by our friends on the left.
  The left aims their rhetoric at Wall Street, but they vote against 
Main Street. The hardworking American families and those who want to 
work become collateral damage. Main Street doesn't want to occupy Wall 
Street; they just want to quit bailing it out. And that is what we need 
to do, Madam Speaker.
  So it is time to get America back to work. It is time to work on a 
bipartisan basis. It is time to grow this economy from Main Street up, 
not Washington down. Reject the MTR. Vote in favor of promoting job 
creation and reducing small business burdens.
  I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1215

  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
