SIFMA provides comments to California State Senator Jack Scott on legislation addressing protections to purchasers of annuity products, SB 573 (Scott). SIFMA opposes the legislation in its current form. SIFMA questions the need for an additional layer of protections, since broker-dealers and their registered representatives are already subject to disclosure requirements under National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) rules and previously enacted California laws.
