What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill corrects a statutory cross-reference related to the enforcement authority of the Division of Banking (division) in the Department of Financial Institutions.
Under current law, the division licenses and regulates providers of earned wage access services. The division also licenses and regulates money transmitters.
The bill corrects a statutory cross-reference in a provision specifying that the division has the same power to conduct hearings, take testimony, and secure evidence in regulating earned wage access service providers that it has in regulating money transmitters.
