The SEC recently announced that it has charged 71 issuers for violations in municipal bond offerings after finding that from 2011 to 2014, the issuers and obligated persons had sold municipal bonds using offering documents that contained materially false statements or omissions about their compliance with continuing disclosure obligations. In light of the SEC's major announcement, IMLA will be hosting a special 90-minute FREE webinar and publishing a new municipal securities book covering the SEC's enforcement actions brought under the Municipalities Continuing Disclosure Cooperation ("MCDC") Initiative.
