Re: LSA Document #11-716 – Proposed Rule Regarding Indiana Uniform Securities Act Rule Updates

Dear Representative Thompson:

On behalf of the Indiana Secretary of State, Securities Division, I am submitting this notice to the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee in compliance with IC 4-22-2-19, which requires an agency to begin the rulemaking process not later than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the statute that authorizes the rule.

The Indiana Uniform Securities Act became effective on July 1, 2008, but the rulemaking process was not begun within sixty (60) days of the effective date of the statute. However, the rulemaking process has now been initiated. The notice of intent for this rule was published in the Indiana Register on November 16, 2011 (DIN: 20111116-IR-710110716NIA).

Your understanding of these circumstances is greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 234-2741.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Bush, Chief Deputy Securities Commissioner

Indiana Secretary of State, Securities Division
