A. Prior to issuing loans funded through an allocation of
the state ceiling for the issuance of education loans, an
issuer or lender must provide to the appropriate agency
within the Department of Professional and Financial

number or percentage of loan obligors who are likely to
benefit from the discounts and any other disclosures
pursuant to guidelines established by the Bureau of
Financial Institutions and the Office of Consumer Credit

benefit from an allocation of the state ceiling. The Bureau
of Financial Institutions and the Office of Consumer Credit
Regulation shall jointly adopt, to the extent allowed by
law, rules to carry out the provisions of this paragraph by
establishing uniform disclosure requirements and sanctions
for noncompliance. Rules adopted pursuant to this paragraph

375, subchapter II-A 2-A. All information provided to the
appropriate agencies within the Department of Professional
and Financial Regulation must include the source of the
information and the basis for any projections.

Act of 1965, 20 United States Code, Chapter 28 that are purchased
or originated with proceeds of tax-exempt bonds using a portion
