LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 791, as introduced, Hagman. Collateral recovery: repossessors.

Existing law, the Collateral Recovery Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of repossession agencies by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services under the supervision and control of the Director of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires an applicant for a qualification certificate or for an initial registration or a reregistration to submit an application to the bureau and include certain personal information in the application that is confidential and is prohibited from being disclosed to the public.

This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these provisions.
