Amending Terms of Consumer Lending Laws

The bill amends the Colorado "Uniform Consumer Credit Code" (UCCC) to change the terms and interest rates a nondepository institution may charge in a consumer credit transaction. For a consumer credit transaction in which a nondepository institution makes a supervised loan or a consumer credit sale, the bill amends the calculation of the total amount of the finance charge that the nondepository institution may contract for and receive to include the total cost of specific additional charges. The bill amends the additional charges that the nondepository institution may contract for and receive and subjects specified additional charges to rule-making by the administrator of the UCCC (administrator). The bill removes the requirement that the rules issued by the administrator be consistent with the federal "Truth in Lending Act" and the federal "Consumer Leasing Act".
