Installment Buying Bill Reenters Arkansas House
The Arkansas House resumes consideration of the installment buying bill after expunging its prior approval and sending it back to Judiciary 1. The measure, criticized as a “loan shark” scheme, would allow a state commission to set cash price charges for deferred payments. The Senate originated bill faced moves for repeal, and confusion over a constitutional ruling by the attorney general. The House passed the bill four weeks ago on recommendation, and supporters plan amendments while opponents seek to curb sections seen as evading prohibition-era rules. The chamber also debated reforming the tax relief and livestock restraint provisions amid committee action and ongoing drafting.
