What’s the “Nebraskans for accountable Lending Campaign”?
A coalition of nonprofits throughout the state have teamed up to put this matter from the ballot. This involves getting 85,000 signatures of subscribed voters before 3, 2020 july. Within these 85,000 signatures, 36 counties require 5% o their subscribed voters to signal. Then, in the event that problem qualifies, it is in the November 2020 ballot for Nebraskans to vote on.
Amend Nebraska statutes to lessen the total amount that delayed deposit solutions licensees, also referred to as payday loan providers, may charge to a maximum percentage that is annual of thirty-six percent; to prohibit payday lenders from evading this price limit; and to deem void and uncollectable any deal produced in breach for this price limit.
If this Petition is put from the 2020 ballot and passed away by Nebraska voters, Sections 45-918 and 45-919 associated with the Delayed Deposit Services Licensing Act statutes could be amended to reflex the item of the Petition.
