Senate Passes Bill to Raise Small Loan Interest Rate
In Richmond on a February day the Senate approved the Norris Battle bill to set the rate at three percent on unpaid balances of 150 dollars or less, up from two percent. The measure passed 24 to 14 after debate about small loan company lobbying and the bill’s committee study backing. Senator Muse and Senator Dalton argued the rate was too high for the poor, while supporters touted the proposed split rate as justified.
