FINRA is proposing new consolidated rules in phases for approval by the SEC as part of the Consolidated FINRA Rulebook. In October and November, the SEC approved eight new consolidated FINRA rules. All of the new rules take effect on February 15, 2010 except for FINRA Rule 2330, which has an implementation date of February 8, 2010.
