Louisiana Legislature Enacts HB 1230: Louisiana Money Transmission Act

On June 9, 2026, the Louisiana Legislature enacted HB 1230 , the Louisiana Money Transmission Act, which modernizes the regulatory framework for money transmission in the state in full alignment with the Conference of State Bank Supervisors' (CSBS) Money Transmission Modernization Act (MTMA). The new law requires businesses providing money transmission services to maintain strict licensing and prudential standards, ensuring they participate in multi-state examination processes and preventing unlicensed entities from operating in Louisiana. Additionally, the law protects consumers by mandating that authorized agents hold transmission funds in trust, provided these businesses submit quarterly financial reports and strictly adhere to federal anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. The law also establishes clear timelines for successfully transmitting consumer funds or their monetary equivalent, while expressly prohibiting any individual or business from using money transmission services for the purpose of debt adjusting. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026.
