The Uniform Gift to Minors Act permits irrevocable gifts of money and securities to minors. The Act gives the power of management to a custodian until the minor reaches the age of majority. The age of majority is the age that an individual is considered an adult. This age differs from state to state, but in most states it is 18.

In most states the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA) has been adopted, replacing the UGMA (see above) for any gifts made after the new law was passed. The UTMA allows gifts and other means of transferring money or securities to minors. Other ways a minor may receive money include inheritance, insurance settlements or awards from lawsuits. The age at which the minor receives the assets differs from state to state and may also differ based on the source of the funds.

In 1993, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new section of the Uniform practise Code (UPC) requiring FINRA members to close out short sales in NASDAQ® securities that meet a certain clearing short position threshold. Both NASDAQ National Market® and NASDAQ Small Cap Market securities can be restricted under UPC 11830. Under the rules, the short seller's broker/dealer must close out short sale of specific securities 10 days after normal settlement date if delivery of security has not accrued and the transaction is not exempt. Securities subject to close-out requirement are those with an aggregate "clearing" short position of 10,000 shares or more that equals or exceeds one half of one percent of the total shares outstanding. The FINRA will identify these securities daily based on data from National Securities and Clearing Corporation and compile a "restricted list." Any subsequent short-sale transaction in a security on the list that is not completed by delivery of shares within the prescribed time frames will be subject to mandatory close-out if a "fail-to-deliver" situation exists 10 days after normal settlement date.
The rule applies to customer and proprietary short sales, but exempts "bona fide" market making activities and short sales that results in a "bona fide" fully hedged or arbitraged position. For more information, please see FINRA Notice to Members 93-53.
