This proposed legislation could have an impact on businesses dealing in payday loans due to restrictions on fee amounts charged on certain unsecured consumer loan transactions in which cash is advanced.























DESCRIPTION



This proposed legislation limits fees to be charged on payday loans to fifteen dollars per one hundred dollars of principal for the first thirty days and three percent per month for any loan extended beyond thirty days. A payday lender cannot have two outstanding loans to the same person at any one time. One payday loan cannot be repaid by the proceeds of another payday loan from the same lender.
