AI-Generated Bill Summaries

Our AI summarizes legislation in real-time, helping you understand complex bills at a glance.

This bill aims to protect small businesses and their owners from unfair fees charged by financial institutions during commercial financing transactions. It prohibits fees for accepting or processing payments, providing documentation of remaining debt, and fees that don't have a clear reason or service associated with them. If a financial institution violates these rules, the bill allows the affected party to seek compensation, including damages and attorney's fees. The bill also states that any agreement to waive these protections is not valid or enforceable. The bill includes definitions of various terms used for clarity.

SB-666 - Small business: commercial financing transactions.
