Background & Context

3 stories

2.1

Municipal bond continuing-disclosure events most issuers miss.

MSRB Rule 15c2-12 requires issuers to file notice of certain events within 10 business days. The list runs to 16 categories now, including some (insolvency of obligated person, modifications to rights of bondholders, financial obligations material to investors) that are easily missed without a tracking process.

Why It Matters

A pattern of late or missed event filings can trigger SEC enforcement and impair the issuer's future market access. The reputational cost outlasts the immediate penalty.

2.2

Bid-protest deadlines run from knowledge, not award.

Federal GAO and most state procurement protest windows start running when the protester "knew or should have known" of the basis for protest — often before formal award notice. The clock can be days, not weeks. Waiting for the official "you lost" email is the single most-common reason valid protests get dismissed for timeliness.

Why It Matters

A late protest is dead on arrival regardless of merit. The vendor with grounds to protest needs to act on solicitation defects before submitting a bid, not after losing.

2.3

Hatch Act restrictions that catch federal employees off-guard.

Less-restricted federal employees may engage in partisan political activity off-duty — but never on-duty, never in the workplace, never using government property, and never while wearing identifying agency clothing. Social media posts from a personal device while on duty count as on-duty activity.

Why It Matters

Hatch Act violations carry penalties from reprimand to removal. Career employees with strong records have been removed for posts that took 30 seconds to write at lunch.
