Maryland Senate Passes 10 Percent Mortgage Rate Ceiling Bill
The Maryland Senate approved a three year removal of the 10 per cent ceiling on home mortgage interest rates to ease access to financing for builders in Washington suburbs. The measure, sponsored by Sen Lanfrence Wiser and supported by the House, would keep the capped rate at 9 per cent through 1979 unless lawmakers act. The bill faced opposition from Sen Donald Hutchinson who questioned the need. Other actions included revamping the Veterinary Medicine Examining Board and studying regional veterinary education, urine testing in DUI cases, auto insurance regional rate studies, Senate oversight of gubernatorial appointments to the Maryland Racing Commission, licensing tax preparers, and prohibiting tuition on credit card in higher education.
