Connecticut Nears Passage of a Unique Commercial Financing Disclosure Bill

Connecticut’s General Assembly came one step closer to passing its own commercial financing disclosure bill when SB1032 passed the Senate on Monday. The State’s legislative session ends on June 7 so the House would have to also pass it by then in order to send it off to the governor.

Connecticut’s bill has several unique rules in addition to standard disclosures already seen in other states.

1. A provider shall not revoke, withdraw or modify a specific offer until midnight of the third calendar day after the date of the specific offer.

2. Providers and brokers must register with the Banking Commissioner.

3. No commercial financing contract shall contain any provision waiving a recipient’s right to notice, judicial hearing or prior court order in connection with the provider obtaining any prejudgment remedy, including, but not limited to, attachment, execution, garnishment or replevin, upon commencing any litigation against the recipient.

Given the likelihood this bill could pass, it has been added to deBanked’s state regulation map.
