AI Summary
This bill amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to allow individuals who are parties to SEC administrative proceedings to require the SEC to terminate the proceeding and instead bring a civil action against them. The bill also requires the SEC to show clear and convincing evidence to impose a legal or equitable remedy on the individual in the administrative proceeding, rather than the lower preponderance of evidence standard. This is intended to provide greater due process protections for individuals facing SEC enforcement actions.
