§ 25131 Nonissuer Securities Qualification
This law says that certain securities that aren't covered by another rule have to be approved by sending a notice to the commissioner, and if nothing blocks it, the approval starts at noon on the 10th business day after the filing.
A small tech startup wants to sell shares to investors in a non‑issuer deal, but the shares don’t qualify under Section 25111.
The startup files a qualification‑by‑notification application with the commissioner. Because no stop order is issued, the shares can be sold once the 10‑day waiting period ends at 12 p.m. California time.
EffectiveDate = FilingDate + 10 business days (time set to 12:00 PM PT)
The startup files its application on Monday, March 4, 2024.
Result: EffectiveDate = 2024‑03‑15 at 12:00 PM PT (the 10th business day after filing).
