  • A.  With respect to a federal covered security, as defined in Section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. Section 77r(b)(2)), that is not otherwise exempt under Sections 6 through 8 of this act, the issuer shall file a notice with the Administrator prior to an offer in this state.  A separate notice shall be filed for each class of an issuer's securities offered in this state.  Each notice shall be for an indefinite amount of securities.  A notice, or renewal thereof, shall be accompanied by the filing fee set forth in Section 50 of this act.  The Administrator may, by rule or order, prescribe notice filing and renewal requirements, and the requirements for filing of reports of the dollar amount of securities sold or offered to be sold to persons located in this state.

    B.  A notice filing under subsection A of this section is effective for one year commencing on the later of the notice filing or the effectiveness of the offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  On or before expiration, the issuer may renew a notice filing by filing a copy of those records filed by the issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are required by rule or order under this act to be filed and by paying a renewal fee as provided in Section 50 of this act.  A previously filed consent to service of process complying with Section 49 of this act may be incorporated by reference in a renewal.  A renewed notice filing becomes effective upon the expiration of the filing being renewed.

    C.  With respect to a security that is a federal covered security under Section 18(b)(4)(D) of the Securities Act of 1933(15 U.S.C. Section 77r(b)(4)(D)), a rule under this act may require a notice filing by or on behalf of an issuer to include a copy of Form D, including the Appendix, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a consent to service of process complying with Section 49 of this act signed by the issuer not later than fifteen (15) days after the first sale of the federal covered security in this state and the payment of a fee as provided in Section 50 of this act.

    D.  Except with respect to a federal covered security under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. Section 77r(b)(1)), if the Administrator finds that there is a failure to comply with a notice or fee requirement of this section, the Administrator may issue a stop order suspending the offer and sale of a federal covered security in this state.  If the deficiency is corrected, the stop order is void as of the time of its issuance and no penalty may be imposed by the Administrator.
