MSRB Seeks Comments on Proposals to Rules G-20 and G-8 (Fed. Reg.)

The SEC is seeking comment on the MSRB's proposals to Rules G-20 ("Gifts, Gratuities and Non-Cash Compensation") and G-8 ("Books and Records to Be Made by Brokers, Dealers and Municipal Securities Dealers"). The rule proposals are generally intended to extend existing prohibitions to additional classes of persons (e.g., municipal advisors) and to conform the MSRB Rules to the comparable FINRA Rules.

Comments on the proposal are due October 13, 2015.
