MSRB Cancels Press Call

WASHINGTON — The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board cancelled a board meeting-related press call Monday due to deteriorating weather conditions caused by Hurricane Sandy, the effects of which were intensifying over the Washington, D.C., region Monday morning.

The MSRB said the call, which was supposed to be held at 10:30 a.m., would likely be rescheduled for Wednesday. The board said it would also likely release an overview of its board meeting, which was held Oct. 24 – 26, on Wednesday.

During these press calls, board members and staff discuss with reporters the actions that came out of the meeting.

Topics are expected to include investor protection, electronic brokerages, bond ballot campaigns, municipal market indices, bondholder consent and collecting data on 529 college savings plans, the board said.
