Digest
HB 3929 clarifies choice-of-law rules and the transfer of claims related to securities. The bill specifies that if a security is deemed invalid under local law, the governing law chosen by the issuer in security-related documents determines the legal consequences. It also expands the rights acquired by purchasers of securities, ensuring they receive not only the security itself but also any associated claims or demands for damages. The bill prevents issuers and other obligated parties from asserting defenses against claims based on the purchaser's intent to enforce their rights.
