Series 66: Other Provisions

Other Provisions

The Uniform Securities Act outlines a number of other administrative rules regarding the role of the administrator’s office. The biggest of these is the rules surrounding a “final order,” when the administrator decides what final action to take on an initial order that was previously issued. Essentially, this is the finished product after an investigation (and possibly a hearing) have been completed. In the final order, the original order may be:

• Vacated (charges or penalties dropped)

• Finalized (charges and penalties confirmed)

• Modified (charges and penalties changed)

From time to time, the state administrator may also issue what is known as an interpretive opinion. Under one of these, the administrator cuts off discussion at the pass and says that it will not pursue further action against a person, firm, or issuer. Naturally, the administrator can only do this if it can establish that the person has not violated any law.
