Commodity Exchange Act (ch. 545, 49 Stat. 1491, enacted June 15, 1936) is a federal act passed in 1936 by the U.S. Government (replacing the Grain Futures Act of 1922). The Act provides federal regulation of all commodities and futures trading activities and requires all futures and Commodity Tips options to be traded on organized exchanges. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) was created in 1974 as a result of the Commodity Exchange Act, which in 1982 created the National Futures Association (NFA). http://liveshareindia.blogspot.com/2011/06/commodity-exchange-act.html
