The D.C. Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the District of Columbia-Only Securities Offerings Exemption on August 8, 2014. Comments are due Sept. 6, 2014.

The proposed method of funding (up to $2 million) will be available only to D.C.-based businesses..."
