Section 13:47A-1.9 - Change of status; submission of form

(a) A registered broker-dealer who is registered with New Jersey via the CRD shall file an amendment with the CRD on the amendment form prescribed by the CRD whenever there is any change to any information previously reported.

(b) A registered broker-dealer that is registered pursuant to 13:47A-1.2 (registrants not eligible for registration via the CRD and therefore registered directly with the Bureau) shall file directly with the Bureau at its current office address, a complete and updated Form BD or the amended pages, if a complete Form BD is already on file at the Bureau, whenever there is any change to any information previously reported.

(c) Any amendment shall be filed no later than 30 days after the occurrence requiring the change. The amendment filed with the CRD shall be accompanied by the fee, if any, prescribed by the CRD for amendments. There shall be no fee for those amendments required to be filed directly with the Bureau.

(d) For a registered broker-dealer that has had any changes occur regarding the answers in its original or amended Form BD application as to arrests, convictions of any crime, disciplinary actions by any administrative body, restraints, injunctions, suspension, revocations, denials, or judgments, as to the registrant or any partner, officer, or director, shall file an amendment with the CRD; or if not a member of FINRA, shall file the amendment directly with the Bureau, fully disclosing the details of the changes within 30 days of the occurrence requiring the change. Such amendment shall be accompanied by the fee, if any, prescribed by the CRD or the Bureau for amendments. In the event that the CRD amendment form does not allow for full detailed disclosure of the details of the changes, as required by the Uniform Securities Law (1997), 49:3-47 et seq., and this chapter, the registrant shall make full detailed disclosure of the changes by a supplemental filing directly to the Bureau at its current office address.

(e) A registered broker-dealer, if a corporation or partnership, shall file with the Bureau or the CRD, whichever is applicable, the fingerprints of each officer, director, controlling person, (as defined on the Form BD), or partner who commences any employment or affiliation with said registered broker-dealer no later than five days after the commencement of such employment or affiliation, and written consent from each for a criminal history record background check to be performed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 49:3-56.p. Those persons exempt from filing fingerprint data with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 17f-2 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.17f-2), or its successor rule, shall be exempt from filing fingerprints with the Bureau pursuant to this subsection.
