Continuing Disclosure
Issuers of municipal securities and entities working on their behalf disclose material
information to the marketplace such as annual financial information and event notices. In December 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission directed
the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board to establish a continuing disclosure service
of the MSRB’s Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system effective July 1,
2009. The continuing disclosure service of EMMA collects continuing disclosure documents
from the issuer community and makes them available to the public for free through
EMMA.
