Maryland Amends its Securities Act Earlier this year the Maryland General Assembly amended parts of the Maryland Securities Act and added some new sections to it. The amendments went into effect on October 1, 2017. Changes to the Maryland Securities Act include the creation of the Securities Act Registration Fund, adoption of the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Senior Model Act to address financial exploitation of seniors, and changes in fees for certain filing categories. The amendments added a new section, Section 11-208, which establishes a Securities Act Registration Fund. The Fund’s purpose is “to help fund the direct and indirect costs of administering and enforcing the Maryland Securities Act.” The Fund will comprise registration fees, money that the State sets aside for the Fund in its budget, and any money accepted from any other source for the Fund’s benefit.

The amendments also
