On July 17, 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed, by a vote of 406-4, bipartisan financial reform legislation titled the “JOBS and Investor Confidence Act of 2018,” frequently referred to as JOBS Act 3.0. The JOBS Act 3.0 builds upon the 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, and on the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (the FAST Act), which was enacted in 2015 and is commonly referred to as JOBS Act 2.0.
