DIVISION OF SECURITIES


•	Amendments to small company offering registration (SCOR) rules in chapter 460-17A WAC. The SCOR rules set forth in chapter 460-17A WAC are based on a statement of policy adopted by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA). NASAA amended this statement of policy on May 19, 2019. The securities division plans to amend its related rules in chapter 460-17A WAC to align with the updated NASAA statement of policy.
•	Amendments to securities broker-dealer rules in chapters 460-20B, 460-21B, 460-21C, and 460-22B WAC. The rules in these chapters apply to securities broker-dealers and their representatives. Many of the rules in these chapters have not been updated in more than two decades. The securities division plans to propose amendments to these rules to bring them up-to-date with federal rules, incorporate NASAA model rules, and describe application filing procedures and requirements, among other possible updates.
