The Consumerization of Small Business Lending: Federal and State Regulations Accelerate

Q: Why has small business financing lawmaking become so much of a trend at the state level in the last few years?

A Sea Change in New York Consumer Protection Law: Inside the FAIR Act

Q: What Gaps or Limitations in the Prior New York Law Led to the Consideration of the FAIR Act?

The previous law primarily focused on deceptive acts without authority to address unfair and abusive practices, which the AG's office wanted to augment their authority over the years. This gap made New York behind compared to other states and led to the enactment of the FAIR Act to fill these critical gaps in consumer protection.
