New Blue Sky law to tighten bond investor protection
California state corporation department expects the August 17 enactment to significantly improve bond investor protection by extending tighter scrutiny to corporation issues, requiring ample security, a sinking fund, and timely interest payments. The rule also bars individuals from selling bonds without department permission after August 17. A writ seeks to force payment for 1923 to save Big Basin land in Santa Cruz County and prevent Western Shore Lumber from reclaiming the property. An unexpected rise in state license fees is noted.
