Section 2100 Of Chapter 6. Consumer Disclosures From California Financial Code >> Division 1.2. >> Chapter 6.
2100
. (a) (1) Each licensee shall file with the commissioner a
certified copy of every receipt form used by it or by its agent for
receiving money for transmission prior to its first use. No licensee
or its agent shall use any receipt, a certified copy of which has not
been filed with the commissioner, or use a receipt that the
commissioner has deemed not to be in compliance pursuant to paragraph
(2).
(2) If the commissioner determines, within 30 business days of the
filing date of a receipt, that the receipt does not comply with the
requirements of this section or Sections 2102 and 2103, the
commissioner shall notify the licensee in writing that the receipt is
not in compliance with those requirements.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), before a new licensee issues
its first receipt to a customer, it shall file with the commissioner
a certified copy of the receipt forms to be used by it or its agents
for receiving money for transmission. The new licensee shall not use
the receipt forms until approved by the commissioner. For purposes of
this subdivision, a new licensee is a licensee that has not been
previously licensed by the commissioner as a money transmitter or has
not previously received money for transmission in California.
(c) If a receipt is required by this division to be in English and
another language, the English version of the receipt shall govern
any dispute concerning the terms of the receipt. However, any
discrepancies between the English version and any other version due
to the translation of the receipt from English to another language
including errors or ambiguities shall be construed against the
licensee or its agent and the licensee or its agent shall be liable
for any damages caused by these discrepancies.
(d) Any licensee violating the requirements of this section shall
be subject to a fine of fifty dollars ($50) for each violation. This
provision is in addition to any other enforcement provisions that may
apply to such a violation.
(e) If any licensee or its agent uses a receipt form, a certified
copy of which has not been filed with the commissioner, the licensee
shall be liable for the acts of its agent whether or not the licensee
authorized the agent to use that form.
(f) The receipt form shall comply with the requirements of
Sections 2102 and 2103.
