- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA.)
- Uniform Securities Act (USA.)
- National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL.)

Question 3
Most individual state securities laws today are based on:
- the Uniform Securities Act of 1956.
- the Uniform Securities Act of 2002.
- the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996.
- the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
Most individual state securities laws continue to be based on the 1956 Uniform Securities Act. Although the Uniform Securities Act was revised in 1985, 1988, and 2002, none of these revisions have been widely incorporated by the individual states. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 dealt mainly with the definition of federal covered securities and more efficient management of mutual funds. The focus of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 was on financial institutions. Most individual state securities laws continue to be based on the 1956 Uniform Securities Act.
