Among its investor protection rules, the MSRB is best known for adopting the first nation wide Pay to Play rule, known as Rule G 37, designed to eliminate the use of political contributions to obtain municipal underwriting business from state and local governments. The MSRB s investor protection rules also apply to state operated 529 plan s marketed by broker dealers, as well as to the underwriting, sales and trading of Build America Bonds . In addition, the MSRB operates the Electronic Municipal Market Access EMMA system http emma.msrb.org , which provides free on line access to comprehensive municipal securities disclosure documents, trade prices, interest rate information, and market statistics. The MSRB was originally established in 1975 by Congress to develop rules regulating security finance security firms and banks involved in underwriting, trading, and selling municipal securities. The MSRB is composed of members from regulated broker dealers and banks as well as from the public. Like the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority FINRA , the MSRB is a self regulatory organization that is subject to oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission SEC . Under the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2010, the U.S. Congress broadened the MSRB s rulemaking authority to also regulate so called municipal advisors, which include financial advisors, swap finance swap advisors, brokers of guaranteed investment contract s and other market participants that advise on the issuance ... more details

The Rules Enabling Act ch. 651, USStatute 73 415 48 1064 1934 06 19 , USC 28 2072 is an Act of Congress that gave the judicial branch the power to promulgate the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure . Amendments to the Act allowed for the creation of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and other procedural court rules. The creation and revision of rules pursuant to the Rules Enabling Act is usually carried out by the Judicial Conference of the United States , the policymaking body of the United States federal courts . While the courts exercised rulemaking powers granted to them under the Act without Congressional intervention for nearly forty years, Congress refused to allow the Federal Rules of Evidence to go into effect after their approval by the United States Supreme Court Supreme Court in 1973. The Rules of Evidence were eventually passed, with substantial changes, as legislation by Congress. Because of Congress s intervention in 1973 and subsequent years, the rulemaking powers granted to the judiciary by the Act have been reduced, causing the Act to command less importance in recent years. However, the Act still prevents litigants from challenging the validity of constitutional Federal Rules via the Erie Doctrine .

Orphan date November 2006 In general, a private activity bond is a bond issued by or on behalf of local or state government for the purpose of financing the project of a private user. Section 141 a of the Internal Revenue Code provides that the term private activity bond means any bond issued as part of an issue which meets 1 the private business use test of section 141 b 1 and the private security or payment test of section 141 b 2 , or 2 the private loan financing test of 141 c . Under Treasury Regulation section 1.141 2, an interest on a private activity bond is not excludable from gross income under section 103 a of the Internal Revenue Code unless the bond is a qualified bond. Interest from private activity bonds became subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax after the Tax Reform Act of 1986 . All things equal, yields on private activity bonds are higher due to this tax treatment.
