Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.

Higher licensing fees for lenders

The law sets one fee framework for many lender licenses, including sales finance, consumer-credit, title, small-dollar, and consumer legal funding. The director can set a base license fee up to $5,000 and up to $1,000 for each extra location. If you had 100 or fewer active accounts last year, your base fee cannot exceed $1,000. License years run either Jan 1–Dec 31 or July 1–June 30, depending on license type. All fees go to the Consumer Licensing Fund.

Legal funding firms can keep operating

Consumer legal funding companies that filed during the set window between Aug 28, 2023 (or when applications opened) and six months after may keep operating while their license application, or an affiliate’s, is pending. This permission lasts until all appeals from any denial are finished. Check your filing date to confirm eligibility.

Higher registration fee for credit services

Credit services organizations must pay a higher filing fee cap. The director may charge up to $1,000 to register, up from $400. The fee covers filing costs, and the director cannot require information beyond the registration statement.

New lender license rules and exam costs

Licensed lenders must pay the necessary costs when the Division examines them more than once a year or does extra exams. The law deletes the old $100 per-diem limit for exam officials. Also, lenders now must hold a license (not a certificate of registration) before making consumer credit loans. The application must be in the form the director sets, and posting rules carry over.

New Consumer Licensing Fund for fees

The law creates the Consumer Licensing Fund in the state treasury. Fees that the law directs to this fund pay Division of Finance licensing costs. Money left at the end of a two-year period does not go to general revenue. Interest earned stays in the fund.
