# California SB 1235 (20172018) — Commercial financing: disclosures.
(1) Existing law, the California Financing Law (CFL) , provides for the licensure and regulation of finance lenders and brokers and, beginning on January 1, 2019, program administrators, by the Commissioner of Business Oversight. The CFL prohibits anyone from engaging in the business of a finance lender or broker without obtaining a license. Existing law defines a finance lender as any person who is engaged in making consumer loans or commercial loans, as defined. The CFL prohibits a licensee from making a materially false or misleading statement to a borrower about the terms or conditions of a loan. The CFL authorizes the commissioner to bring an action to enjoin, as specified, against a person who, in the commissioner's estimation, has violated or is about to violate the CFL, and authorizes the imposition of civil penalties to that effect. A willful violation of the CFL is a crime, except as specified.
