Securities & Finance Laws in Nevada.

Federal securities law ('33 Act, '34 Act, '40 Act) is administered by the SEC. Nevada supplements with the Nevada Uniform Securities Act (NRS Chapter 90), administered by the Securities Division of the Secretary of State. The Act governs registration of securities (where not federally preempted), broker-dealers, investment advisers, and agents, and provides state anti-fraud remedies. Nevada is a leading jurisdiction for corporate formation, producing significant securities-disclosure and governance litigation.
