Accredited Investor Definition Review Act

This bill updates the definition of an "accredited investor" under securities law to include specific professional certifications, designations, or credentials that demonstrate financial expertise. It requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to periodically review and adjust the list of accepted credentials - starting within 18 months of enactment and every 5 years thereafter - to ensure they measure financial sophistication effectively. The SEC must add credentials substantially similar to those already recognized and adjust the list as needed for investor protection. This directly affects individuals seeking accredited investor status for private securities investments and the SEC, which gains a formalized process to maintain the credential list.
