The bill would require the OCCC to provide for enforcement of credit repair organizations. Methodology The Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner is a self-directed, semi-independent state entity and does not receive appropriated funds. The OCCC is responsible for funding all direct and indirect operational costs and sets the amount of fees, penalties, charges, and revenues required to cover these costs.The OCCC anticipates that complaints filed with the OCCC in connection with credit repair organizations would necessitate an additional FTE in the consumer assistance department. There is no authority established to collect a fee for this enforcement; the costs of investigations being conducted on these entities and enforcement actions would have to be absorbed within existing functions. Technology No technological implication is anticipated. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
