Uniform Securities Act

The Uniform Securities Act is a model law designed to regulate the sale of securities (like stocks and bonds) across different states. It aims to protect investors by establishing rules for registration, disclosure, and conduct of securities professionals. Although it’s not law itself, many states adopt its provisions to create a consistent framework, making it easier to monitor and enforce securities regulations nationwide. Essentially, it helps prevent fraud and ensures transparency in the securities market, promoting trust and fairness for investors and issuers alike.
