Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) will implement changes to the Electronic Filing Depository (EFD) website, which NASAA first launched in 2014. The EFD platform streamlines the state securities filing process and is used not only for the submission of filing notices, fees, and forms directly to the states, U.S. territories, and jurisdictions, but also by filers and issuers of securities offerings to research state filing information on securities offerings in the various states.

Beginning Jan. 6, 2025, all filings and payments must be made through a newly migrated EFD on a new website: nasaaefd.org. Support contact will also have a new number: 1-800-378-5007. The current website, efdnasaa.org, will NOT be available after Dec. 31, 2024. Use of the new platform affects all filings and payments made through EFD (e.g., Form D, Form NF, and franchise filings).

BIOSECURE Act Update: Court Enjoins WuXi AppTec’s 1260H Designation, but Strategic and Compliance Clocks Keep Running

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has preliminarily enjoined the Department of War from enforcing WuXi AppTec's Section 1260H designation, finding the agency misread its evidence on state and military affiliation. However, this ruling does not close alternative pathways to biotechnology company of concern (BCC) designation under the BIOSECURE Act, and earlier supply-chain restrictions continue to drive near-term compliance decisions with a critical June 30, 2027 deadline for sub-tier supp
