(a) The Pilot Program for Increased Access to Responsible Small Dollar Loans is hereby established.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that consumer demand for responsible installment loans in principal amounts of at least three hundred dollars ($300) but less than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) exceeds the supply of these loans. In 2010, the Legislature enacted the Pilot Program for Affordable Credit-Building Opportunities, as a first step toward addressing this gap. California’s experience to date with that pilot program has identified several improvements that could be made, which would allow more Californians to access responsible installment loans of at least three hundred dollars ($300) but less than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). This new Pilot Program for Increased Access to Responsible Small Dollar Loans is intended to implement those improvements.
