In a Board update released June 11, 2026, FINRA announced that its Board of Governors approved advancing a proposal to make the Remote Inspections Pilot Program permanent, preserving member firms' ability to conduct remote inspections of their offices.
The voluntary pilot, conducted under Rule 3110.18, began July 1, 2024 and is otherwise scheduled to expire June 30, 2027.
The Board also endorsed companion changes to modernize Residential Supervisory Location (RSL) requirements — simplifying the treatment of different types of residences and modifying the supervisory-ineligibility criteria — informed by pilot data and comments to Regulatory Notice 25-07 on the modern workplace.
Both measures must be filed with and approved by the SEC before taking effect; the Board action authorizes FINRA to proceed toward those rule filings.
