Update from the Virginia General Assembly....

The House Commerce and Labor committee has passed HB 12, which represents a bipartisan compromise through the work of Del. Glen Oder (R - 94, Newport News)  and Del. John O'Bannon (R - 73, Henrico County), the Black Caucus, and members of the House of Delegates leadership.  It goes a long way to reforming Payday Lending in the Commonwealth, and is supported by the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy.  

 There is concern that a Payday Loan bill in the Senate might wipe out the benefits of HB 12.
