Congressman Flood Applauds House Passage of His Bipartisan ‘Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood released a statement following the House passage of H.R. 3339, also known as the “Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act of 2025.”                                  

“Access to our nation’s capital markets should be based on merit and knowledge, not wealth,” said Congressman Flood. “The Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act advances this goal by creating a new, rigorous investment exam administered by FINRA to earn ‘accredited investor’ status. I’m grateful to see my bill receive bipartisan support at every step in the House, and it now awaits Senate consideration. I look forward to President Trump signing this commonsense reform into law once it passes the Senate.”

Congressman Flood took to the House Floor to highlight the bill’s goals ahead of its passage. Video of his remarks can be found here. News outlets are welcome to use the video for their reporting purposes.

U.S. Representatives Mike Flood (R-NE), Cleo Fields (D-LA), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Sarah McBride (D-DE), and Shri Thanedar (D-MI) introduced the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act in May 2025. 

Right now, an individual or business must meet one of a number of financial or professional criteria to be classified as an accredited investor. Current criteria are outlined here.
