+extraction_notes: "TRANSFORMATIVE source for Living Capital regulatory analysis. The secondary market transition provision fundamentally changes the token classification landscape by introducing lifecycle reclassification. This creates an alternative pathway where Howey test analysis matters primarily for initial distribution, not ongoing operations. The Act's focus on economic substance rather than governance mechanisms suggests that futarchy's structural arguments may be less critical than previously assumed. Two major claims extracted covering the lifecycle reclassification model and the economic substance classification framework. Four enrichments applied to existing regulatory claims, all extending or challenging with new evidence. Created new legislation entity for the Act itself and updated NASAA entity with opposition timeline entry. This source directly addresses the 'regulatory terra incognita' problem identified in agent notes by providing a concrete legislative framework for token classification."
