Iowa Senate debates cap on loan rates and impact
The Iowa Senate clashed over raising or resetting state interest limits as lenders seek higher earnings elsewhere. Sen. Griffin urged reviving Iowa in world finance while Sen. Hill warned of disaster, arguing higher caps threaten borrowers. Amendments to raise to 8 percent and to create a quarterly adjusting board failed amid party-line votes. A bid to include service charges in the 9 percent cap also failed, with opponents saying it would complicate the bill.
