SEED Act of 2025
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

This bill creates an exemption to securities registration requirements for a micro-offering of securities. In general, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prohibits the offering or selling of securities unless the offering is registered with the SEC or the offering qualifies for an exemption from registration requirements.
The bill defines a micro-offering as an aggregate amount of securities offered or sold by an issuer that does not exceed $500,000 in a 12-month period. This exemption does not apply to issuers who are convicted of specified financial crimes or are subject to specified professional disciplinary actions.
