Duffy commented, \"Small companies that go public increase employment by 156% on average.\u00a0 This is how the Googles and the Apples, the Twitters and the Facebooks of the world started.\u00a0 The bill that Mr. Carney and I have introduced supports America's newest jobs creators by creating a pilot project to maximize their trading liquidity.\u00a0 Our hope is that our bill will give these emerging growth companies greater access to much needed capital so they can expand their businesses and create much needed American jobs.\" Rep. Carney continued, \u201cSmall businesses are the engines of job creation in this country,\u201d said Rep. Carney. \u201cThis bill encourages the investment community to take a closer look at small businesses and give them greater access to capital. This would make it easier for these businesses to continue to grow and create jobs once they\u2019ve gone public. I\u2019m encouraged by today\u2019s bipartisan vote and was pleased to work across the aisle with Congressman Duffy to focus on the most important issue facing our country \u2013 creating jobs and growing the economy.\u201d\u00a0 Rep. Duffy also touted the bipartisan effort saying, \"Creating jobs should be a bipartisan cause and this bill is an excellent example of that. Rep. Carney has been a great partner on this legislation and we are both very glad to see so many of our colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, support it. We hope it will see the same level of support in the full House.\" \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Attachment: Text of H.R. 3448, \u201cSmall Cap Liquidity Reform Act\u201d ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://duffy.house.gov/press-release/duffy-carney-s-bipartisan-jobs-bill-sails-through-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1703288182616234, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
