The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) has prepared a new educational resource to assist state and local governments in understanding the information that will be made public regarding municipal securities dealers’ contributions to bond ballot campaigns and any resulting municipal securities underwriting business. The MSRB began requiring additional disclosures in July 2013 to promote greater transparency surrounding dealers’ involvement in bond ballot campaigns, which secure voter approval for taxpayer-funded public projects.
