Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
(a) Any section that refers to this section or that is subject to Section 22251 does not apply to any open-end loan of the bona fide principal amount specified in the regulatory ceiling provision of that section or more, or to a duly licensed finance lender in connection with any such loan if that provision is not used for the purpose of evading this division.
(b) In determining whether an open-end loan is an open-end loan of a bona fide principal amount specified in any section in this division or more and whether the regulatory ceiling provision of that section is used for the purpose of evading this division, the open-end loan shall be deemed to be for that amount or more if both the following criteria are met:
(1) The line of credit is equal to or more than the bona fide principal amount of the specified amount.
(2) The initial advance was equal to or more than the bona fide principal amount of the specified amount.
(c) A subsequent advance of money of less than the specified amount pursuant to the open-end loan agreement between a borrower and a licensed finance lender shall be deemed to be a loan of a bona fide principal amount of the specified amount if the criteria of paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (b) have been met, even though the actual unpaid balance after the advance or at any other time is less than the bona fide principal amount of the specified amount.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivisions (b) and (c), the amount of the line of credit of an unsecured open-end loan shall be the criterion to determine whether an unsecured open-end loan is of a bona fide principal amount or more specified in any section in this division.
(e) For the purposes of determining whether the loan amount exceeds a regulatory ceiling, the provisions of subdivision (c) of Section 22251 shall apply to open-end loans.
