Alexander Acosta’s recent announcement that Labor’s June 9 compliance date will move forward, Clayton said that the rule “may have significant effects on retail investors and entities regulated by the SEC,” as well as “broader effects on our capital markets. Many of these matters fall within the SEC’s mission of protecting investors; maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitating capital formation.”
