NEWARK – On April 15, 2019, the Bureau of Securities (“the Bureau”) proposed to establish, by regulation, the common law fiduciary duty and apply it to broker-dealers and agents, and to codify it for investment advisers and investment adviser representatives.
In connection with this notice of proposal (published in the New Jersey Register on April 15, 2019, at 51 N.J.R. 493(a)), the Bureau will hold a public hearing to take testimony from interested parties concerning data, arguments, or views that raise a substantial issue as to the impact of the rulemaking on the regulated community or the general public that has not been anticipated by the agency.
