SIFMA Submits Comments to the Rhode Island State Senate Majority Leader and Judiciary Committee on Social Media Legislation

SIFMA submitted comments to the Rhode Island State Senate Majority Leader and Judiciary Committee expressing its concerns about proposed social media legislation, SB 493, as currently drafted. This legislation would prohibit employers from requiring that current or prospective employees provide employers with access to their personal social media accounts. SIFMA believes that SB 493 would, if enacted, conflict with the duty of broker-dealers to supervise, record and maintain business-related communications as required by both FINRA and state law.
