On June 3, Colorado enacted HB 1328, (the “Act”), which will extend the state’s regulation of money transmitters until September 2030. The law had previously been scheduled to sunset on September 1. The Act will implement the recommendations of the Department of Regulatory Agencies, as specified in the Department's sunset review of the regulation of money transmitters. Specifically, the Act will (i) authorize the State Banking Board to suspend a money transmitter’s license and issue cease and desist orders; (ii) expand the requirement to furnish surety bond coverage to include all money transmission, rather than any exchange; (iii) increase the maximum penalty for failure to allow an examination from $100 to $1,000 per day the refusal continues and for failure to report up to $750 per day; and (iv) expand the licensing exemption to cover out-of-state banks. The Act will go into effect 90 days following the adjournment of the General Assembly, assuming a referendum petition will not be filed.
