Section 400. Financial services; buying for another  


Latest version.
  • Any person other than a national bank or bank or trust company organized under the laws of this state, or a duly licensed or practicing attorney-at-law, that engages in the business of buying or selling for others on commission or for other compensation, shares in any corporation, bonds, notes or other evidences of debt is a stockbroker. The fact that orders are taken subject to approval by a main office does not relieve the broker from local license taxation.
