VA Update:

The Senate passed the bill that denies lenders the opportunity to offer open lines of credit:

Senate Majority Leader Richard Saslaw, D-Fairfax, sponsored the bill, which would confine payday lenders to only issuing short-term, high-interest loans. The measure, SB1470, unanimously passed the Senate.

It will be interesting to read the floor statements to see how they justify limiting consumer choice at a time when credit is hard to get.
