Even through this unprecedented time, legislators are enacting and proposing legislation that can impact the debt settlement industry. 

The webinar will focus on a few states, but most importantly will discuss the newly proposed legislation out of California. First our team of presenters will discuss enacted legislation and how it will impact your current business in those states. 

Then the presentation will move to current proposed legislation, how it may impact your business if enacted, and what we recommend you keep an eye on over the next few months.
