Commodity Futures Modernization Act Of 2000The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 or CFMA, was passed and signed by President William Jefferson Clinton in December 2000 in large part to allow for the creation of U.S. exchanges for the listing of a new sort of derivative security, the single-stock future. The prohibition on single-stock futures and narrow-based indexes that had been in effect until the passage of this act was known as the Shad-Johnson Accord because it was first announced in 1982, as part of a jurisdictional pact between John Shad, then chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Phil Johnson, then chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
