## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- State gains control over securities defendants: benefit, low. At the commerce and insurance commissioner’s request, a Tennessee chancery court can appoint the commissioner to manage a securities defendant. The appointment can also cover the defendant’s assets. The commissioner serves as a court-appointed receiver or conservator.
- Rule-exempt advisers gain a securities exemption: benefit, low. The law extends a securities-law exemption to people excluded from the investment adviser or adviser representative definition by commissioner rules. This applies only to people covered by those rules, not all advisers.
- Investors face deadlines for securities lawsuits: cost, low. Private Tennessee securities lawsuits must start within five years after the act or transaction that violated the law. A second deadline is two years after discovering the facts of the violation. The earlier deadline applies. Discovery includes when reasonable care should have uncovered those facts.
- Brokers face rules for removing complaints: mixed, low. Covered brokers and agents must give the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance written notice at least 60 days before filing. This covers court actions to remove customer-dispute records from the Central Registration Depository and filings to cancel, change, or confirm related arbitration…
- Tennessee repeals an education code part: mixed, low. The law repeals all of Title 49, Chapter 4, Part 1 of Tennessee’s education code. The supplied text does not identify the programs, duties, or protections removed, so household effects are unclear. All changes in this act took effect when it became law.
