Texas moves to curb small loan abuses and reforms in insurance
Atty Gen Will Wilson leads a major Texas crackdown on high interest lenders, filing 217 injunctions affecting about 200000 borrowers with $10 million in loans at 100 to 300 percent annual interest. He seeks a 20 percent cap via certificate plans while cautioning constitutional issues. Insurance reforms aim for clerical efficiency and continuous licensing. A health aid proposal would extend up to 6 monthly dollars for welfare recipients, costing up to 9 million annually.
