Bill overview
The American Ownership and Resilience Act aims to support the growth of employee-owned businesses by establishing a government-backed investment facility. This facility, overseen by the Department of Commerce, will provide leverage to ‘ownership investment companies’ (OICs) that finance the sale of private businesses to employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) or eligible worker-owned cooperatives. The bill includes provisions for independent trustee oversight, mentorship programs for new OICs, and regulations to ensure fair investment practices and prevent undue control by investors.
