At STATES NOW
GUARD INVESTOR
IN STOCK DEALS
Nevada Only One With No
Regulations, Magazine
Declares.
1'imes Special


CHICAGO, March 5.-Forty-
seven of the 48 states now offer the
investor some protection against Sc
curities of doubtful value. During
the last three years 81 state legis-
latures have completed this blue
sky safeguard, the current issue
of State Government, publication of
the Council of State Governments,
said today.
Nevada is the only state which
does not regulate the sale of Sc
curities in any way, the magazine
reported.
Blue sky laws fall into two
classes: Fraud acts and regulatory
acts Fraud acts provide only that
the authorities shall investigate Sc
curities already being sold, and, by
administrative order or court in
junction, prohibit the further sale
of issues discovered to the fraudu-
lent, or suspected of being so.
Four States Use Fraud Act
Regulatory acts empower the
state regulating body to require that
dealers be registered or licensed be-
fore they can offer securities for sale,
or to demand approval of the Sc
curities themselves before the issue
goes on sale, or include both pro-
visions.
"The compilation of laws shown
in State Government indicates that
only four states of the 47-Dela-
ware, Maryland, New Jersey and
New York-use the fraud act. Con-
necticut Maine, Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island assume that honest
men will not swindle the public, and
depend upon dealer license laws
alone.
-Four other states-Idaho, New
! Mexico, Tennessee and Wyoming
demand registration of the securi-
ties, but not the dealers. The re-
mainder of the states use both pro-
visions. Sixteen states permit regis
tration of certain classes of securi-
ties by notification only. Sale is
permissible as soon as securities are
registered.
Bonds Are Exempt
In the At states government bonds
are exempt from regulation, and
certain other types of securities are
also exempt because they change
hands in particular kinds of trans
actions, such as executors or guard
ians' sales. Most of the states hav-
ing regulatory laws also have fraud
provisions allowed for the use of the
injunction in preventing or remedy
ing fraud.
The administering agent or agency
of the blue sky" law may be the
secretary of state, as is the case in
eight states, the attorney general,
the superintendent of banks, a Sc
curities commission or commits
sioner, the auditor, or the public
securities commission.
