California Department of Consumer Affairs

No.

Well, and that Terminator robot with the glowing red eyes, six feet tall, it was the first of its kind human versus robot and probably the last of its kind, at least in San Francisco, because the California Department of Consumer Affairs says, first of all, you're violating boxing law.

So cease and desist.

And the company that owns the robot, they're called Robot Entertainment Combat, R-E-K.

It's a good one, Chris, and basically dates back to when Governor Newsom, our governor in California, broke up and divided the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency into effectively two separate agencies.

And it created what's now the California Business and Consumer Services Agency, the BCSA, and Rohit Chopra is the secretary, the very first and inaugural secretary of the BCSA, which now sits over several state agencies, starting with the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Real Estate, the Department of Cannabis Control, and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the ABC.

And the goal is to sort of bring all of these consumer protection agencies under one umbrella, focusing on consumer protection specifically and separating out state housing and homelessness and other issues to the, uh, second and separate agency that was created.

Today, I think we wanna focus on the DFPI, the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, as it really is gonna bring a lot of, we think over the next short-term and long-term regulatory oversight in the consumer financial services area in California.
