What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a lender other than a bank, savings bank, savings and loan association, or credit union generally must obtain a license from the Department of Financial Institutions to assess a finance charge greater than 18 percent per year.
This type of lender is generally referred to as a "licensed lender." A licensed lender must have a separate license for each place of business it maintains. Current law also contains numerous provisions regulating consumer loans, which are generally loans of $25,000 or less made to individuals for personal, family, or household purposes.
