The bill does not set new requirements at all! It just explicitly authorizes the SEC to adjust the income & net-worth requirements for inflation. The SEC was already empowered to alter the requirements independently of legislation, but has never done so. The figures quoted are pulled out of their hat -- they just took the old figures and adjusted for the last 30 years of inflation since they were set. Nothing in the bill says the SEC has to do that.
