U.S. Municipal Bond Regulator to Aid IRS With Data on Market |

The Alexandria, Virginia-based board said today that the agreement extends to the IRS an arrangement it has with other agencies that enforce its rules.
The IRS oversees whether bond sales by state and local government agencies comply with the rules of their exemption, which allows investors to collect tax-free interest.
