If passed, the bill that now just awaits the signature of Governor Rick Perry will require more extensive disclosure from payday lenders in Texas. House Bill 2594, which requires payday lenders to be licensed by the state, still awaits final House approval.
Payday lending could soon become more transparent for borrowers looking for money fast — the House today concurred with the Senate version of a bill that would require payday lenders to disclose interest rates and fees associated with the loans.
