44B is an independent reference implementation of GBL Article 44-B — not an official New York State or Department of Financial Services filing portal. This filing is a demonstration record. Enforcement of Article 44-B is the province of the attorney general (§ 1427); nothing in this article creates a private right of action (§ 1427(2)).
