Bargaining Moves On Missouri Banking Bills For Consumer Law Passage
Missouri House leader Rep. Kenneth Rathman plans to bargain on two Senate Banking bills to secure passage of a consumer bill this session. Senate measures would let banks lend from separate branches and revise state banking law. Rothman links action to a holder-in-course bill that failed in Senate committee. Spradling resists, preferring another consumer bill version with credit charge changes. Also, the House approved an amended auto tax bill shifting to dealer levies, and sent full-time prosecuting attorney bills for Platte, Buchanan and Boone counties to the governor.
