Regulatory Recap: September & Q3 2026
Regulatory activity at a glance
“Wake me up when September ends."
— Green Day
Consider this your wake-up call: Even though September and Q3 2026 are coming to a close, there’s still plenty happening across the regulatory landscape along with anticipation for some “big” rulemakings before year-end.
Highlights from September include:
- SEC: Proposals to “modernize” current rules, including those for Transfer Agents and Proxy Solicitation.
- FRB: Final rulemakings to amend bank regulatory stress testing (with signals that a Basel III final rule could be released this year).
- States: Remarks on oversight and safety of frontier AI models (California and New York).
