Hawai'i Commissioner of Securities Corinna Wong has issued an emergency order allowing financial professionals who relocated to Hawai'i after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina to continue conducting business in the state.

Financial professionals, such as securities dealers, salespeople, investment advisers, normally must be registered with the state's Business Registration Division to do business in Hawai'i.

Wong's order exempts the relocated financial professionals from that registration requirement. The exemption is limited to transactions involving existing clients of the financial professionals. The order is posted in its entirety on the Web at hawaii.gov/dcca/areas/sec/main/press_releases.
