Governor's Veto Message
April 15, 2004
To the Honorable Members of the Assembly:
I am vetoing Assembly Bill 665 in its entirety. This bill modifies provisions relating to consumer loans commonly referred to as payday loans. Under the bill, a payday lender must provide notice prior to disbursement of funds that compares the cost of the loan if paid in full to the cost if refinanced three times. The lender must also notify the loan recipient that a payday loan is not intended for long-term financial needs, that it should be used only for financial emergencies, and that consecutive payday loans will require additional interest and can cause financial hardship. Required notifications must also inform a payday loan recipient that he/she shall have no obligation to pay interest or fees if the loan principal is returned by the close of business the day following disbursement of funds. In addition to required notifications, the bill limits payday loans to four consecutive transactions, terms not to exceed 35 days and a disbursement not to exceed $5,000. The $5,000 limitation on a payday loan shall be adjusted annually for inflation under rules to be promulgated by the Department of Financial Institutions. Finally, the bill prohibits a payday lender from initiating or threatening to initiate criminal prosecution for failure of a recipients check or electronic transfer to be paid by the financial institution from which it was drawn.
