New regs for Tuesday: Teachers, finance, venture capital

Tuesday’s edition of the Federal Register updates the rules for venture capitalists, teachers and traders.

Here’s what is happening:

Teachers: The Department of Education is formally withdrawing an Obama-era teacher preparation rule.

The teacher preparation rule published last October was struck down earlier this year by President Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress through the Congressional Review Act.

The Education Department is now taking steps to remove the teacher regulations from the government’s rulebook, known as the Code of Federal Regulations.

The withdrawal goes into effect immediately.

Venture capital: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is proposing new venture capital rules.

The venture capital rules pertain to registration exemptions for investment advisers.

The public has 30 days to comment.

Finance: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is looking to simplify its regulations.

The CFTC requested suggestions Monday on how its “existing rules, regulations, or practices could be applied in a simpler, less burdensome, and less costly manner.”

The public has until Sept. 30 to comment.
