Earlier last month, the NPRC wrote a letter (see attachment) to CA Senator Anna Caballero which focused on the following four most important points to consider:

·        Clarify that payroll firms that merely facilitate such access are not Earned Income Access Service Providers.

·        Permit variable fees for instant versus next-day delivery of funds.

·   Permit service providers to require consumers to open or maintain an account at a particular depository institution, so long as there is no cost to the consumer to do so.
