SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment creates two new securities for use in the debt
markets: a depository bill and a depository note. It also establishes a
legal regime for the new securities. A depository bill or note is a bill of
exchange or promissory note that is intended to be held by a clearing
house and traded in a book-entry system operated by a clearing house.
|
|
|
|
The enactment ensures that a purchaser of a depository bill or note
has the same legal rights, with appropriate modifications, as a purchaser
of a bill or note under the Bills of Exchange Act, even though the
depository bill or note will not actually be delivered to a purchaser.
