Working on a research paper and need to know the name of the act that forced all information about stocks to be made public to everyone, not just clients and analysts. The only legislation that sticks out in my mind is Sarbanes-Oxley but I am sure that's not it.

The securities act of 1933 set up the rules for new issues and the securities exchange act of 1934 set up the rules for the secondary markets.
Heres a great reference

Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) makes it to where companies have to release information to everyone all at once.
