CHANGING THE LAWS
The Responsible Business Lending Coalition worked to pass 9 laws that are protecting small businesses and catalyzing growth of better financing options.
STATE LAWS
CA Small Business Truth in Lending Act (SB 1235, 2018)
NY Small Business Truth in Lending Act (S5470B, 2020)
CA Protections for Small Businesses from Unfair and Deceptive Acts (SB 1864, 2020)
CA Law Banning Junk Fees (SB 666, 2023)
CA Small Business Truth in Lending Act Reinforcement (SB 33, 2023)
CA Fair Debt Collection for Small Business Owners (SB 1286, 2024)
CA Small Business Truth in Lending Act Enhancements (SB 362, 2025)
FEDERAL LAWS
Data innovation study in Appropriations Bill (Appropriations Bill, 2018)
Data access innovation provision in Taxpayers First Act (PL 16-25, 2019)
WE HAVE A BIG OPPORTUNITY AHEAD
More states and US Congress have introduced bills prompted by the Responsible Business Lending Coalition advocacy. These bills are supported by our campaigns representing over 1,000 industry and nonprofit organizations.
Every entrepreneur deserves access to responsible, affordable capital that will help their business thrive, not force them out of business. The Responsible Business Lending Coalition advocates for policies that enshrine the principles of the Small Business Borrowers' Bill of Rights into law.
Signatories and Endorsers of the Small Business Borrowers’ Bill of Rights do not necessarily endorse the Coalition’s policy recommendations, but they are encouraged to sign onto specific proposals and support advocacy efforts aimed to enshrine the Rights into law.
FEDERAL ADVOCACY
Because of loopholes in current laws, financing providers are targeting business owners with harmful debt products with annual percentage rates (APRs) of as high as 350% or more, without ever disclosing these rates to them. Together with our partners, the RBLC is working to advance legislation that ensures small business owners seeking capital have access to clear, honest information about pricing so they can compare financial products and choose the best option for their business.

No matter who they are, where they live, or how much they make, every business owner deserves access to responsible capital that will enable them to grow their venture. RBLC supports and has provided recommendations during the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) rulemaking process to implement Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Implementing Section 1071 will address the absence of comprehensive information about small business financing and improve access to capital for small business owners, especially those in underserved areas. Importantly, the rule will require non-bank finance providers, as well as banks, to report data on credit applications, decisions, and terms. By increasing transparency in the small business lending space, implementation of Section 1071 will facilitate better financing practices and better outcomes for America's small businesses.
