Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, has proposed an amendment to House Bill 2370 that would cap rates at $15 per $100 borrowed, limit the number of loans a borrower can take out at one time, and give back 1.5% back to low and moderate income services.
That 1.5% is something new. I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad idea. On one hand, if it works, do it. On the other hand, it perpetuates the stereotype that payday loans prey on low income people; which is not true.
