ABA's Blue Sky Bugle Newsletter for Blue Sky Lawyers

The ABA's Committee of State Securities Regulation publishes an online newsletter of articles of interest to Blue Sky lawyers. This newsletter, called the "Blue Sky Bugle," is published around major holidays about four times per year.

Articles in the January, 2009 issue cover : (1) why Washington State's September, 2008 adopted Form D filing rule, the first state to adopt a rule to coordinate with the SEC's newly adopted electronic Form D rule, will fail issuers making Rule 506 offerings and should not be followed by other states; (2) the states' inexcusable and unjustified delays in reviewing registrations by coordination; and (3) the inevitable delays that will occur in processing agent registrations in Florida because of tightening the fingerprint card requirement following the resignation of the State's long-time Securities Commissioner.
