CONCERNING REGULATORY TRENDS & COMPLIANCE FOR FUNDERS AND BROKERS

As the regulatory landscape rapidly shifts, staying ahead of compliance changes is no longer optional for RBF brokers and funders—it's essential for survival. This panel will provide critical updates on proposed and enacted legislation in key states like New York, Texas, California, Illinois, and Maryland, where new disclosure requirements and usury risks could severely impact your ability to fund deals. Panelists will also examine how aggressive state-level regulation is influencing federal policymakers in Washington, D.C., setting the stage for broader national oversight. Finally, the discussion will highlight the strategic role of political giving and advocacy in shaping outcomes—demonstrating how targeted engagement and financial influence can help turn the tide against harmful policies.
