Municipal Securities Cases and Materials: MCDC Initiative
Office of Municipal Securities
August 2020
This compilation of Municipal Securities Cases and Materials was prepared by the Office of Municipal Securities of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This compilation covers enforcement actions brought by the Commission in conjunction with the Municipal Continuing Disclosure Cooperative (“MCDC”) Initiative in 2015 and 2016.[1] The links below contain the full text of certain Commission orders/opinions, administrative law judge decisions, and litigation releases, as well as federal court decisions, involving participants in municipal securities transactions. In some instances, the linked document is a determination of fact and law following a hearing; in others, findings made by the Commission in a settled proceeding in which the named party has neither admitted nor denied the findings, but consented to entry of the order. In still other instances, such as a complaint, the document may consist of allegations.
The compilation organizes enforcement actions by relevant participants to municipal securities transactions or topics. However, inclusion under a particular heading does not limit in any manner the relevance of the document to other participants or topics.
While this compilation provides an extensive review of Commission activity in the municipal securities market for the relevant period, it does not purport to be exhaustive. It also does not include actions by private parties under the federal securities laws arising from municipal securities transactions, or Commission and private actions under the antifraud and other sections of the federal securities law arising from transactions not involving municipal securities. Such materials may also be useful to the reader.
Please visit the official Office of Municipal Securities webpage, maintained by the Commission, at www.sec.gov/municipal for more information related to the Commission’s activities regarding municipal securities.
