10 with the goal of, among other things, modernizing the rule and extend the rules application to municipal advisors.4 Prior to that time, the rule only applied to dealers and required dealers to provide a customer with a paper copy of the MSRBs investor brochure after a customer had made a complaint to the dealer.5 Recognizing this requirement did not afford customers the best use of the information in a timely manner, the 2017 amendments replaced the post4 See Exchange Act Release No. 79801 January 13, 2017, 82 FR 7898 January 23, 2017 File No.
SRMSRB201615. The 2017 amendments created similar obligations for municipal advisors to provide their municipal advisory clients with certain notifications. The text of the amendments addressed the scope of Rule G10 obligations for municipal advisors by specifically defining municipal advisory client for purposes of Rule G10 to include either a municipal entity or obligated person for whom the municipal advisor engages in municipal advisory activities, as defined in rule G42fiv, or a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, or investment adviser as defined in section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 on behalf of whom the municipal advisor undertakes a solicitation of a municipal entity or obligated person, as defined in Rule 15Ba11n, 17 CFR 240.15Ba11n, under the Act.
