House Amendment 001

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Removes provisions amending the Regulatory Sunset Act. Removes language repealing specified provisions of the Collection Agency Act. Restores language providing that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation may obtain written recommendations from the Collection Agency Licensing and Disciplinary Board regarding standards of professional conduct, formal disciplinary actions, and the formulation of rules affecting these matters. Restores language providing that at the discretion of the Secretary, after having first received the recommendation of the Board, the accused person's license may be suspended or revoked, if the evidence constitutes sufficient grounds for such action. Provides that an adjudicated finding (rather than a finding) by the Federal Trade Commission or other federal or State agency that a licensee violated the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act or its rules is grounds for discipline. Makes other changes. Further amends the Collection Agency Act. In provisions concerning informal conferences, provides that informal conferences shall be conducted with at least one member of the Board in attendance after a formal hearing is requested (rather than informal conferences shall be conducted with at least one member of the Board in attendance). Effective January 1, 2023.
