If the Oregon Legislature convenes for a « special session » this Thursday, April 20, its users could have a really restricted time period and an extremely restricted set of things to tackle—among them, funding for training and individual solutions, and also to a higher-profile extent, reform associated with the rules regulating the loan industry that is payday.

It was pushed for by an unlikely source: Republican House Speaker Karen Minnis although it may not be at the top of all legislators’ priority list (after all, the Department of Human Services DHS is facing a $136 million budget gap, and public schools are closing by the baker’s dozen), payday loan reform will likely get the most traction—and.

Minnis is basically blamed by her experts for killing cash advance legislation during this past year’s regular session.
