The Securities and Exchange Commission's primary function is to safeguard investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets. Currently credit unions are asking to they be exempt from broker-dealer registration requirements with the SEC. The SEC oversees the stock exchanges, broker-dealers, investment advisors, mutual funds, and public utility holding companies through enforcement of the securities laws. The regulatory relief bill includes such a provision for thrifts.
