387-39 state.

368+22 (3) certain state laws or regulations that regulate an offering
369+23 should not be waived or suspended even if the applicant is

386+40 consumers or residents of the state.
387+41 (b) If the director denies an application submitted under this
388+42 section, the regulatory relief office shall provide to the applicant a
