Securities & Finance Laws in Michigan.

Federal securities law ('33 Act, '34 Act, '40 Act) is administered by the SEC. Michigan supplements with the Uniform Securities Act (2002), administered by DIFS's Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau. Michigan requires broker-dealer, investment adviser, and agent registration; enforces anti-fraud provisions (MCL § 451.2501); and provides civil remedies to defrauded investors. Michigan is a "blue-sky" state that reviews securities offerings not federally preempted.
