To establish a minimum public comment period with respect to proposed rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

HR 8255 requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide a minimum 60-day public comment period for most proposed rules, or 30 days if the rule addresses imminent investor harm. This applies to all SEC rulemaking where a public comment period is already required under federal law. The bill specifies that federal holidays do not count toward the comment period, and the clock starts when the proposed rule is published in the Federal Register. The legislation directly affects the SEC and entities submitting proposed rules, ensuring a standardized minimum timeframe for public input.
