Governor Signs Bill On Payday Lending Industry Monitoring

Sponsored by:

Governor Gray Davis has signed a bill into law giving the state more authority to monitor the payday lending industry. Supporters say the lenders provide a needed financial service to poor areas. But consumer activists say the high fees and high-interest loans are predatory and unfairly target poor people who can´t afford to go elsewhere.
