Proposed Rule Change to Amend FINRA Rule 8312 (FINRA BrokerCheck Disclosure) to Allow the Dissemination of IAPD Information through BrokerCheck

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 8312 (FINRA BrokerCheck Disclosure) to allow the dissemination through BrokerCheck® of information already publicly disseminated through the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (“IAPD”) database about registered brokers who are, or were, licensed as investment adviser representatives. The proposed rule change also would make non-substantive, technical changes to FINRA Rule 8312.
