SB 1311: Small Business Micro-Finance Loans (2008)

Summary

SB 1311 would allow the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA) to match loan loss reserve contributions in the CalCAP program equal to the amount paid by participating financial institutions.  Current statute requires the CPCFA contribution to be the combined total of the loan loss reserve contribution paid by the participating financial institutions and the borrower.  The net result of all this is that the Authority will be able to dramatically increase the number of small business loans available without increasing the risk to the state and at no cost to the General Fund.

After this bill passed the Legislature, Senator Simitian sent a letter to the Governor urging his signature on this bill.
