Specifically, the bill establishes for market makers a duty of trust and loyalty to the customer upon receipt of an order and deems the information in the order as material, non-public information. Furthermore, the Chief Executive Officer of a market maker must annually certify compliance with such responsibilities. The bill establishes civil and criminal penalties for violations.
