Group Votes To Introduce Consumer Bill
TOPEKA AP The Senate Commercial and Financial Institutions Committee voted to day to Introduce as a committee bill the controversial uniform consumer credit code bill. Sen Robert P Bennett chair said public hearings would be held on the bill to adopt for Kansas the proposed uniform code. The code aims to guarantee greater consumer protections in sales and sets uniform interest rates for contract purchases. Some view the rates as high while others see provisions as unduly restrictive on business. Sen Edward F Reilly Jr voted against introducing the bill as a committee bill noting individual legislators who support the bill should introduce it. Reilly cited the Kansas Bankers Association policy statement that until hard evidence proves the code beneficial to the Kansas consumer economy no legislative action toward passage should be taken.
