The new rules, FINRA Rule 2090 and FINRA Rule 2111, take effect in October 2011. As FINRA states in its Regulatory Notice 11-02, the new rules "retain the core features" of the current rules and "at the same time strengthen, streamline and clarify them." Let's examine the important aspects of the new rules.
