AI Summary

This bill, amending Tennessee Code Annotated Titles 45 and 47 concerning consumer protection, shortens the reporting deadline for businesses providing "deferred presentment services" – essentially short-term, high-interest loans often referred to as payday loans – to the commissioner of financial institutions. Previously, these businesses had 15 days to report significant events, but this bill reduces that timeframe to 10 days. The events requiring reporting include the licensee filing for bankruptcy or reorganization, facing revocation or suspension proceedings by any state or governmental authority, being denied the opportunity to engage in deferred presentment services by any authority, or any felony indictment or conviction of the licensee or its key personnel, as well as other events the commissioner may specify by rule.
