NYSE American Syncs Disciplinary Rules With FINRA Changes

## Summary

NYSE American is updating its disciplinary rules to match recent changes made by FINRA, the big regulator they follow. These updates affect member firms by changing how certain penalties and membership decisions are handled, including automatic pauses on some expulsions and cancellations. The changes took effect right away on May 19, 2026, with no new fees involved.

## Effects PRIA read

- Expulsions Stayed Pending SEC Review: benefit, high. If your NYSE American member firm is expelled, has its membership cancelled, or is denied continued membership, that action will not become effective until the time to file an application for SEC review (30 days) has expired with no filing or, if an application is timely filed, until the SEC comple…
- Staff Can Briefly Delay Other Sanctions: benefit, medium. Exchange staff and adjudicators may give respondents or applicants the opportunity to seek a stay from the SEC or take other appropriate action before many sanctions or regulatory measures (for example, suspensions, bars, denials of statutory disqualification, conditions/restrictions, or cease-and-…

When a member firm receives a Rule 9557 notice for operational or financial difficulties, a notice of suspension for failure to comply will be effective five business days after service of that notice. The notice must identify alleged failures, state when Exchange action will take effect, and expla…

Adjudicators may grant applicants an opportunity to seek a stay from the SEC or take other action before temporary or permanent cease-and-desist orders take effect, and the Chief Hearing Officer may stay such orders for good cause, under amended Rules 9840, 9850 and 9870. These changes became effec…
- Defaults Still Trigger Immediate Bars/Expulsions: cost, high. If a member firm or associated person defaults (for example, fails to timely seek review or exhaust administrative remedies), a bar or expulsion specified in a final decision becomes effective immediately upon that decision becoming final; the amended rules do not create stays for defaulting partie…
