§ 11-59-111. Unlawful representation concerning registration or exemption.
(1) Neither the fact that an application for registration has been filed nor the fact that an application for registration has become effective constitutes a finding by the securities commissioner that any document filed under this article is true, is complete, and is not misleading. No such fact, nor the fact that an exemption or exception is available for a security or transaction, means that the securities commissioner has passed in any way upon the merits or qualifications of, or has recommended or given approval to, any security or transaction. In the case of an issue of bonds made pursuant to an order of registration effective under section 11-59-108, nothing in this subsection (1) shall prohibit the inclusion in the official statement used in connection with the offer or sale of such bonds a representation that the issue of bonds has been registered with the securities commissioner and a statement identifying the documents reviewed by the securities commissioner in the course of the registration process.
(2) It is unlawful to make, or cause to be made, to any prospective or existing investor or property owner any representation inconsistent with subsection (1) of this section.
