The final version of California’s private fund adviser exemption–creating a new class of “exempt reporting advisers”–has been submitted for adoption and publication. Further state action is required within 30 days of submission.The Department of Corporations has requested that the new rules be effective upon filing with the Secretary of State. Under California’s administrative law procedures, action on the exemption is due by August 27.

Sources at the Department of Corporations indicate that the rule should proceed on the expected timeline. The DoC is eager to have the exemption adopted and to begin collecting reports from private fund managers within the scope of the exemption. Under current emergency rules, those managers are not subject to reporting or registration.
