§ 5955 Local Agency Security Consent

Key Takeaways

  • •Even if a local agency says it's okay to sell a security, you still need to follow state rules unless the security is exempt.
  • •Getting local approval doesn't mean you can skip state requirements.
  • •Always check if the security or transaction is exempt from state rules.

Example

A company wants to sell stocks in a small town and gets approval from the town council.
