Editor’s Notes
Welcome to Volume 49 No. 1 of The Bond Lawyer.
In this edition, Tony Martini provides commentary on the new administration’s approach to government efficiency and reviews the recent (but very few) developments in federal tax matters, including the final reissuance regulations. In homage to the Fourth Installment of the Municipal Securities Retrospective in this issue, Drew Kintzinger’s securities law column will return in the next issue.
In the fourth installment of our Municipal Securities Retrospective, Paul Maco, Drew Kintzinger, and Rick Weber provide an in-depth discussion of the 1994 SEC interpretive release and the initial amendments to Rule 15c2-12 requiring contractual continuing disclosure for issuers of municipal securities to support secondary market transactions. This installment also includes the evolution of today’s Electronic Municipal Market Access System (EMMA), the municipal counterpart to EDGAR. The fascinating background for the ultimate publication of the interpretive release and initial amendments provides valuable context to our practice today. This installment also catalogues and underscores the importance of industry-wide participation in the regulatory process.
And now, enjoy the rest of this edition of The Bond Lawyer.
