Responsible Small Biz Lending Updates; CalSavers Train the Trainer

Responsible Small Biz Lending

Bill AB 2314 – Responsible Small Business Lending, introduced by Assembly Member Cottie Petrie-Norris was amended last Thursday. The bill would require any commercial financing products that leverage state funding—such as loan guarantee programs—to include several financing rights and protections for borrowers.


CAMEO and many of our colleagues have led in California’s responsible lending efforts with the passage of SB 1235 in 2018 and we support this bill. Please join us by submitting a letter of support for AB 2314.
