 The MSRB recently released a video to commemorate its 40th year of promoting a fair, transparent and efficient municipal securities market. The seven-minute video traces the history of the market and highlights the MSRB’s role in protecting the public interest in a well-functioning capital market that helps support the construction of bridges, schools and other public projects. It also explores the effects of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on the future of municipal market regulation.

In July, the MSRB Board of Directors met and discussed several rulemaking proposals and
corporate matters in preparation for the start of the organization’s upcoming
fiscal year. The Board discussed development of a new proposal on markup disclosure
and plans to seek public comment on this and other alternative approaches to helping
investors understand the transaction costs and pricing of a municipal bond
trade. The Board also discussed measures to enhance regulatory efficiency and
addressed the findings of a holistic review of fees on regulated entities,
among other topics.
Read the full summary of the Board meeting.
The MSRB plans to provide guidance for dealers on the implementation of new Rule G-18, on best execution, in advance of the December 7, 2015 effective date.
