This morning, I sent the following email to the Executive Committee. Some of you may already have seen this announcement, forwarded by your Underwriter.

The DFS Chief of Staff made a number of "courtesy calls" late yesterday afternoon to the entities involved with the SAPA regulatory process.

Our lobbyist, Scott Wexler, was called as the contact person for NYSLTA.

He relayed the content of the DFS call.

DFS has filed regulations with the Department of State, which will be published in the Oct 18 State Register.

Reg 206 will take effect immediately upon publication.

Reg 208 takes effect 60 days from Oct 18.

The Department thanked the Association for its participation.
At this time, this is the extent of the information publicly available.

There is NO PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

The regulations take effect as noted above.

The Association will continue to seek more details about the impending regulations and will provide Members with updates.
