USPS Seeks Voter Data to Track Federal Mail-In Ballots

USPS proposed federal rules requiring states to share voter-level data (names, addresses, and per-ballot barcodes) for mail-in/absentee ballots in federal elections, to track ballots and create a state-by-state participation list via a new Federal Ballot Mail Portal; the rules would apply to federal elections (not primaries or overseas ballots) and follow President Trump's March executive order, with the Federal Register publication slated for June 2 and a 30-day public comment period; a judge previously declined to block the order’s mail-voting provisions while the process continues.

SEC Proposes Major Reforms to Modernize Public Offerings and Cut Reporting Costs

The SEC proposed two rulemakings—Registered Offering Reform and a revamped Public Company Reporting Framework—to modernize how registered offerings work, expand shelf offerings, ease communications and research coverage, and preempt state registrations; it also reforms filer rules to extend accommodations to about 81% of issuers, raises the large accelerated filer threshold to $2B, creates an IPO-on-ramp by delaying accelerated filer status, and provides extra filing time for small non-accelerated filers, with a 60-day public comment period.

SEC Denies Coinbase's Crypto Rulemaking Petition, Prompting Legal Battle

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rejected Coinbase's petition for rulemaking on transactions involving cryptocurrencies that are considered securities. SEC Chair Gary Gensler stated that existing laws and regulations already apply to the crypto market and that the timing for Coinbase's proposed rulemaking is not appropriate, as the SEC is currently seeking comments on crypto-related rules. Coinbase's chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, responded to the decision by stating that they will challenge the SEC's refusal to respond to their petition in court. SEC Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda criticized the decision, suggesting that the issues raised in the petition should be addressed through public roundtables and requests for comment.

"Minnesota Sets Clear Path for Legalizing Marijuana"

Minnesota officials provided updates on the implementation of the state's new marijuana law, including the search for an Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) director and the expedited rulemaking process. While possession and home cultivation of cannabis by adults is now legal, it is expected to be nearly two years before state-licensed retailers open. The state is also in the process of selecting members for a Cannabis Advisory Council and gathering public input on various topics such as business licensing, packaging, and labeling requirements. Tribal governments have also adopted legalization, with the first legal cannabis sale in Minnesota taking place on a reservation. The state is closely monitoring these sales as it prepares for potential compacts with tribes.

SEC Given One Week to Respond to Coinbase's Rulemaking Petition by U.S. Court

The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has ordered the SEC to clarify its position on Coinbase's rulemaking petition within a week. Coinbase had filed a challenge in April, asking the court to force the SEC to respond to its petition for formal rulemaking in the digital assets sector. The SEC has been ordered to explain if it intends to decline Coinbase's request, the reasons for such a decision, or a timeline of when it expects to come to a decision. The SEC is currently suing Coinbase over allegations that it operates an unregistered securities exchange.

Coinbase takes legal action against SEC for delayed response to crypto rulemaking petition.

Coinbase has filed an Administrative Procedure Act challenge against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), asking a federal court to force the regulator to provide "regulatory clarity" around how existing securities laws might apply to the digital asset sector. The move comes after the SEC warned Coinbase it expected to sue the exchange over allegations of listing and offering unregistered securities products last month. Coinbase is expected to respond to the specific allegations by the end of April.
