The MSRB proposal to amend municipal fund securities reporting requirements under Form G-45 was published in the Federal Register. Comments on the proposal must be submitted by November 23, 2018.
As previously covered, the MSRB seeks to amend Form G-45 to clarify data elements and to require additional data from underwriters of college savings plans (i.e., "529 savings plans") and Achieving a Better Life Experience ("ABLE") programs (issued under the ABLE Act). The proposed amendments would (i) clarify a data element concerning the program management fee assessed by a 529 savings plan or ABLE program, (ii) add a data element concerning the closing date for investment options offered in a 529 savings plan, and (iii) delete data elements concerning annualized three-year performance information.
