SEC Extends Rule for Broker-Dealers to File Exit Forms
Published Date: 5/11/2026
Notice
Summary
The SEC wants to keep the rule that lets broker-dealers officially quit their registration by filing Form BDW, which takes about an hour to complete. Around 283 broker-dealers do this each year, so the paperwork stays manageable. The SEC is asking for public comments before extending this rule, with no big changes or costs expected.
