LOAN BROKERS: Enacts the Louisiana Consumer Alternative Installment Loan Act (RE INCREASE SG EX See Note)

HB 513, titled the "Louisiana Consumer Alternative Installment Loan Act," establishes new regulations for short-term installment loans in Louisiana. It directly affects loan brokers and consumers by setting specific interest rate limits and loan terms, with amendments clarifying numerical references (like changing "one-three hundred" to "one three-hundred sixty-fifth"). The bill creates a framework for consumer protection in the alternative loan market, including defined rates and borrower safeguards. The bill was recently amended and referred to the Committee on Appropriations for further consideration.

What changed between versions

HB513 Original Senate Floor Bureau Note, #2596, Mizell, Adopted · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to correct a definition error regarding consumer loan data sources and to fix a calculation error for daily interest rates. These changes ensure the law uses the correct national average for consumer spending and accurately calculates interest on a daily basis rather than a monthly fraction.
DEFINITION

Corrected the definition of 'Applicable interest' to remove an incorrect reference to 'Urban Consumers for the U.S. City Average' and replace it with 'Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average'.

REQUIREMENT

Revised the interest calculation method to require charging interest at one three-hundred sixty-fifth of the annual rate for each day elapsed, instead of using a one-thirtieth monthly fraction.
