MSRB PUBLISHES 2013 RULE BOOK

Alexandria, VA – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) today published an electronic version of its printed 2013 Rule Book, which describes rules for municipal securities dealers and municipal advisors effective as of January 1, 2013.

All MSRB rules are available on www.msrb.org; however, the MSRB publishes its rules in book format to facilitate ease of use. Printed copies of the Rule Book are available for sale from the MSRB. The most current version of MSRB rules can be found in the Rules section of the MSRB’s website.

The MSRB is currently seeking industry and public comment on its entire Rule Book as it engages in a comprehensive review to ensure that its rules reflect current market practices. The deadline to submit comments is February 19, 2013.

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) was established by Congress in 1975 with the mission to protect investors, issuers and the public interest and to promote efficiency, competition and capital formation. MSRB is a private, self-regulatory organization governed by an independent board of directors with market knowledge and expertise. MSRB does not receive federal appropriations and is funded primarily through fees paid by regulated entities. MSRB is overseen by Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
