The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board Gallery on Municipal Securities Regulation

In Recognition

MSRB Logo

The Gallery was made possible through the generous support of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, in recognition of the 40th anniversary of its founding in 1975.

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board protects investors, state and local governments and other municipal entities, and the public interest by promoting a fair and efficient municipal securities market. The MSRB fulfills this mission by regulating the municipal securities firms, banks and municipal advisors that engage in municipal securities and advisory activities. To further protect market participants, the MSRB provides market transparency through its Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA®) website, the official repository for information on all municipal bonds. The MSRB also serves as an objective resource on the municipal market, conducts extensive education and outreach to market stakeholders, and provides market leadership on key issues. The MSRB is a Congressionally-chartered, self-regulatory organization governed by a 21-member board of directors that has a majority of public members, in addition to representatives of regulated entities. The MSRB is subject to oversight by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.


The Gallery was prepared and built by Carla Rosati.
