Following the introduction by Senator Jerry Little of a bill that modernizes that state's securities regulation act, Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement:
"By updating and modernizing our securities regulations act, we will make it easier for innovative businesses to raise the capital they need to grow and flourish. Through our Live Free and Start initiative, business leaders and entrepreneurs across the state have expressed a need for the Securities Modernization Act, and I look forward to working with legislators from both parties to pass this important legislation that helps make our state even more responsive to the needs of new businesses."
