Credit cards: finance charges.
Summary
Existing state and federal law regulate the provision of credit to consumers. Existing state law permits a holder of a credit card to request information on the total amount of finance charges assessed on the account during the preceding calendar year, and requires the card issuer to provide that information, without charge, within 30 days of receiving the request. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
