Answer
MSRB Jurisdiction over Municipal Issuers matches 'Completely excluded from authority...'; MSRB Rule Enforcement for Non-Bank Broker-Dealers matches 'Monitored, examined, and enforced by FINRA and the SEC...'; MSRB Rule Enforcement for Bank Municipal Dealers matches 'Monitored, examined, and enforced by federal bank regulatory agencies...'; MSRB Rule G-37 Political Contribution Provisions matches 'Imposes a mandatory two-year prohibition...'.
The MSRB establishes rules governing municipal securities dealers and advisors, but lacks enforcement power. Enforcement for non-bank broker-dealers is performed by FINRA and the SEC, while bank dealers are regulated by federal banking entities (OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC). Furthermore, the MSRB is prohibited from regulating municipal issuers, and Rule G-37 imposes a two-year ban on negotiated municipal business following prohibited campaign contributions.
