The Preemption Myth and Ohio’s Retained Authority No, a federal Rule 506 exemption does not let you ignore Ohio securities law. It changes what Ohio can do, not whether Ohio is involved. Rule 506 stops the state from putting your offering through a full substantive review, but Ohio still expects

The Limits of Federal Preemption in Nebraska No, Rule 506 preemption does not let you ignore Nebraska. That is the mistake I see sponsors make. They read that federal law “preempts” state blue sky rules and assume Nebraska has nothing to say about their raise. That is not how it
