State Blue Sky Laws & Securities Regulators

What Are State Blue Sky Laws?

Securities Lawyer 101 Blog

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is the federal agency that regulates the securities industry.  In addition to the federal securities laws, companies must comply with state securities laws.  These state laws are often referred to as State Blue Sky Laws.

Each state adopts their own individual State Blue Sky Laws laws that govern securities offerings and the registration of sales persons. Though the specific provisions of State Blue Sky Laws vary among states, they all require the registration or exemption of securities offerings and sales, as well as of stockbrokers and brokerage firms.   Below are links to State Blue Sky Laws and regulators.
