SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION:
Open-end loans by payday lenders. Prohibits licensed payday lenders from extending credit under open-end credit plans. Third parties are prohibited from making such loans at a payday lender's place of business. The prohibition does not apply to such loans if secured by a lien on a motor vehicle title. If a licensed payday lender relinquishes its license and then makes open-end loans, it may not be re-licensed to make payday loans for a period of 10 years. The measure is emergency legislation that will take effect upon passage. HB 1709 is identical.

Open-end loans by payday lenders. Prohibits any person licensed as a lender under the Payday Loan Act or any affiliate of such licensee, from making an open-end loan pursuant to the provision that currently allows any seller or lender to extend credit under an open-end credit or similar plan at any rate of interest and fees that the parties agree, as long as the obligor is provided a 25-day interest-free grace period.
