The Finance Commission voted to publish these rule amendments for comment at its August 21, 2026 meeting. The OCCC will accept official comments on the amendments until October 4.

Summary: These proposed amendments would update licensing requirements to implement the transition to the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) for credit access businesses. The updates include revisions to requirements for new license applications, transfers of ownership, application denials, and change notifications. Proposed amendments to recordkeeping requirements would require licensees to maintain information security procedures and data breach notifications. The amendments would make other technical changes and updates.
