SB 250, as introduced, Nielsen. Department of Business Oversight.

Existing law, the Financial Institutions Law, regulates the activities of various financial entities, including commercial banks, industrial banks, trust companies, credit unions, and savings associations. Existing law establishes the Department of Business Oversight, which is under the direction of the Commissioner of Business Oversight, and is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Financial Institutions Law.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
