Financial institutions: payday lending; deferred presentment services transactions act; revise internal references related to money transmission services. Amends sec. 2 of 2005 PA 244 (MCL 487.2122). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5544'26
HB 5546 amends Michigan's Deferred Presentment Service Transactions Act to clarify which financial services fall under its regulation. It revises definitions to explicitly exclude certain loan types - like those regulated under the Consumer Financial Services Act, Mortgage Brokers Act, or Money Transmission Modernization Act - from being classified as "deferred presentment service transactions." This change ensures payday-style loans (where customers provide checks for cash with delayed repayment) remain governed by this specific law, while other licensed loans continue under separate regulations. The bill does not create new rules but updates references to align with current financial service laws.
