FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials at the Department of Economic Development-Division of Finance and Division of Credit Unions assume the proposal would have no effect on their agencies.



The Division of Finance noted in their response that the proposal duplicates existing regulations, as it does not add to powers available to lenders licensed under RSMo. 408.500 and 367.100-367.215. It is the opinion of Oversight that lenders licensed under these sections must also meet additional requirements under this proposal, if engaged in deferred presentment services.

DESCRIPTION



This act allows persons licensed under Section 408.500, RSMo, and Sections 367.100 to 367.210, RSMo, to provide deferred presentment services. Borrowers will be allowed to rescind the transaction without penalty the following day if the loan is paid in full. A licensee must post the fees associated with deferred presentment loans and require specific information in the loan agreement. Also, a licensee must cash the check provided by the borrower within thirty-one days after the date the check is received by the licensee.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
