Vermont law establishes a filing fee to accompany the filing of federal covered securities, pursuant to 9 V.S.A. § 5302(e).
TYPE OF PERSONS AFFECTED: (1) Individuals and entities required to file federal covered securities. (2) The State of Vermont can anticipate an increase in fee revenue as a result of the filing requirement.
COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS: Individuals and entities required to file under the proposed rule will be required to file a fee calculated pursuant to 9 V.S.A. § 5302(e) [$600 per filing].
