Securities & Finance Laws in Nebraska.

Federal securities law ('33 Act, '34 Act, '40 Act) is administered by the SEC. Nebraska supplements with the Securities Act of Nebraska, administered by the Bureau of Securities within the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance. The Act governs registration of securities (where not federally preempted), broker-dealers, investment advisers, and agents, and provides state anti-fraud remedies. Nebraska also hosts major financial-services entities (Berkshire Hathaway, Mutual of Omaha, TD Ameritrade), producing significant securities and broker-dealer practice.
