Ohio update: 14 Senators sign 36% rate cap bill

From today’s Columbus Dispatch:

“If Grendell’s bill or House Bill 333 were to pass, the payday-lending industry says its more than 1,600 stores would be put out of business quickly. Under a 36-percent rate, they would be allowed to charge less than $1.50 per $100 borrowed on a two-week loan. The current rate is about $15.”
