Series 63 practice questionmediummunicipal bond nuances - home state vs other state

A banker in State X underwrites revenue bonds for a city in State Y. Under the USA, which of the following is TRUE regarding exemption in State X?

  1. AThe bonds are exempt in State X only if State Y first files a notice
  2. BThe bonds are not exempt in State X because the issuer is not State X or its political subdivisions.
  3. CThe bonds are exempt in State X even though the issuer is in another state.✓ Correct answer
  4. DThe bonds require registration in State X because they are revenue, not general obligation bonds.
Explanation

Why CThe bonds are exempt in State X even though the issuer is in another state.

Revenue bonds issued by a U.S. city are exempt securities under the USA in every state; the fact that the issuer is in another state does not remove the exemption. Revenue versus general-obligation status does not change this result.
