lehoquvuhu.wordpress.com
During a ceremonial bill signing Monda atthe Miami-Dade County Crist, with Attorney General Bill McCollum and some of the bill’s sponsord at his side, signed the Investor Protectiom Act (HB 483). It gives McCollum’s with approval from the , the authoritgy to investigate andprosecute large-scale securities scama under the state’s securities law. Previously, white-collad criminal prosecutions fell under theracketeering statute, which is hardef to prove. Prosecutions also were limite d to the office ofthe state’s attorney, McColluk pointed out.
Crist noted that this kind of authorituy was lacking during his tenure as attorneh general and that this law wouldput “teeth” into the state’xs prosecutorial powers. The law enhances the Officr ofFinancial Regulation’s enforcement powers by increasing penalties for violators and strengthening the licensr registration requirements for securities dealers. Penaltiesa double from $5,000 to $10,000 as a resuly of the law, which goes into effect Wednesday.
