Summary
Payday Loan Act. Requires the State Corporation Commission, by January 1, 2009, to certify and contract with one or more third parties to develop, implement, and maintain an Internet-accessible database, and requires payday lenders to query the database prior to making any loan to determine whether the loan is permissible. Licensees are required to pay a database inquiry fee to the database provider. A payday lender is prohibited from making a payday loan to a person if the loan would cause the borrower to have more than one payday loan outstanding at the same time and from making a payday loan on the same day that the person has paid a previous payday loan. Payday lenders are permitted to charge, on any payday loan, interest at an annual rate of 36 percent, a loan fee of not more than 20 percent of the loan proceeds, and a $5 verification fee. Payday lenders are prohibited from knowingly making loans to a member of the military service or to the spouse or dependent of such person. A borrower may enter into an extended payment plan, which allows the borrower to repay the loan in at least four equal installments over a period of not less than 60 days. A borrower may not enter into more than one extended payment plan in any 12-month period. A payday loan may not be made to a borrower in an extended payment plan or within 90 days after payment of an extended payment plan. The measure provides that the fifth payday loan made to a borrower within 180 days shall either be followed by a 45-day lockout period or be made as an extended term loan, under which the loan will be repaid in four equal installments over a 60-day period and be followed by a 90-day lockout period. Other provisions (i) prohibit a lender from engaging in any unfair, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent acts or practices in the making or collecting of a payday loan; (ii) require a lender, when collecting or attempting to collect a payday loan when the check given as security for such loan is dishonored, to comply with certain restrictions and prohibitions contained in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act; (iii) provide that any provision of a written loan agreement that violates the Payday Loan Act is unenforceable against the borrower; and (iv) state that the provisions of the Payday Loan Act apply to Internet lenders. The measure, except the authorization to establish the database, will become effective January 1, 2009.
