The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) recently made a preliminary conclusion that a New York commercial financing law was not preempted by the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and indicated it was also considering making a preemption determination regarding similar state laws in California, Utah, and Virginia. On January 20, 2023, California Attorney General Rob Bonta submitted a letter to the CFPB agreeing with its preliminary determination that California’s Commercial Financing Disclosures Law is not preempted by TILA because it does not apply to consumer credit transactions within the scope of TILA. Attorney General Bonta further urged the CFPB to articulate a narrower standard limiting preemption to situations where compliance with both TILA and the state law is not possible.
