Can this sentence be reworded while retaining the same meaning?
Original:
Regulation R implements certain of the exceptions for banks from the definition of the term "broker" under Section 3(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Rewording:
Regulation R implements certain bank exceptions from the definition of the term "broker" under Section 3(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Does this rewording change the original meaning, or are they still saying the same thing? Is the grammar correct in the reworded version?

I would think it should read "Regulation R excepts certain banks from the definition of the term 'broker'...'

That certainly is a legitimate way to reword this sentence. However, I'm interested in knowing whether the meaning of the two versions differ by the way they are written.

If mine is a legitimate interpretation, then both of yours are wrong.

Then I should have been more blunt to say that it was a way to reword the sentence if I wanted to change the original meaning. Read the original sentence again, understand it's meaning, then look at the reworded version and answer my question if you want to be helpful.

Well, then, since you are so perceptive, what do you think may be the difference between your original sentences?
