BIO Reiterates Support as Senate Small Business Committee Considers Changes

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Christopher Cox and Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Chairman Mark Olsen prepare to testify before the Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship today, BIO reiterated its support for changes to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) that will specifically benefit small biotech companies.

“The biotechnology industry was particularly hard-hit by the complex and burdensome regulations imposed by SOX’s Section 404. We have supported changes to its implementation, so our companies can refocus on our most important mission of researching and developing new therapies to improve human health, expand our food supply, and provide new sources of energy,” said BIO President and CEO Jim Greenwood. “We are pleased to see that agency and congressional leaders are listening.”
