What AB 866 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill adds a new section to the Financial Code, relating to business practices. It subjects student loan servicers to the Unfair Competition Law (UCL) and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This means that student loan servicers can be held liable for unfair competition and must follow the rules of the Rosenthal Act. The bill also clarifies that student loans are considered debts subject to the Rosenthal Act. Additionally, the bill states that no reimbursement is required for this act.
