Senate Bill 369 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor:   Senator Peter J. Lucido
Committee:   Regulatory Reform
 
CONTENT
 
The bill would amend Public Act 273 of 1917, which governs and licenses pawnbrokers in certain governmental units, to increase, from 3% per month to 4% per month, the maximum interest rate a pawnbroker may charge on any loan.
 
Specifically, the Act allows a licensed pawnbroker to charge on any loan a rate of interest that does not exceed 3% per month and is not required to accept any interest less than $0.50 on a single loan. The bill would modify the maximum interest rate from 3% to 4%.
